EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial print by Damian Grady showcases the remarkable Fovant Badges, a collection of chalk military badges etched into the landscape on Fovant Down. The image captures three distinct badges: those of the Royal Wiltshire Yeomanry, Ymca, and 6th Battalion the City of London Regiment. The Fovant Badges hold great historical significance as they were created during World War I to boost morale among troops stationed in this area. These impressive hill figures served as a constant reminder of home and unity for soldiers who were far away from their loved ones. Grady's photograph beautifully highlights these intricate designs carved into the earth, showcasing their scale and precision. The contrasting white chalk against the lush green surroundings creates a visually striking composition that draws viewers in. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to an era where patriotism and camaraderie flourished amidst adversity. It serves as a poignant reminder of our nation's rich military heritage and pays tribute to those who bravely served our country. Damian Grady's skillful capture allows us to appreciate not only the artistry behind these badges but also their enduring legacy. This print is a testament to both human ingenuity and nature's ability to preserve history through its landscapes.
