EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph captures the intricate beauty of the Fovant Badges, a remarkable hill figure located in Fovant Down, Wiltshire. Created by Damian Grady in 2016, this print showcases the Chalk Military Badges of the London Rifle Brigade and the Post Office Rifles, as well as the Centenary Poppy Badge under construction. The Fovant Badges hold great historical significance as they were carved into the chalk hills during World War I by soldiers stationed nearby. These badges served as symbols of camaraderie and pride for various military units. Over time, they have become an enduring tribute to those who fought bravely for their country. In this image, we are presented with a bird's-eye view that allows us to appreciate both the scale and intricacy of these badges. The precision with which they were crafted is truly awe-inspiring. Each detail is meticulously captured by Grady's lens - from the fine lines defining each badge to the subtle variations in shading. As we gaze upon this photo print, we cannot help but be reminded of our shared history and collective sacrifices made during times of conflict. It serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst turmoil and uncertainty, acts of unity can create lasting legacies that transcend generations. Damian Grady has skillfully immortalized these iconic emblems through his artistry behind the camera lens. This photograph stands not only as a testament to his talent but also as a visual homage to those who served their country
