EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative pen and ink drawing captures the fine blend of swab tea discovered after a hearty breakfast during the early days of World War I. The image on the front depicts three heads of weary soldiers, their expressions reflecting a mix of fatigue and contemplation. The reverse of the print reveals six additional head and shoulder studies, offering a glimpse into the artist's creative process. The soldier in the foreground, identified as 21017 Private P.J. Hill, hails from D Company of the 20th Battalion, The County of London Regiment. A proud alumnus of the Lambeth School of Art, located at St. Oswalds Place, Upper Kennington Lane, Private Hill resided at 6 Amott Road in Peckham Rye, London, in 1895. The intricate details and shading in this drawing showcase the artist's mastery of the pen and ink medium. The soldiers' uniforms, equipment, and facial features are rendered with remarkable precision, transporting us back in time to the trenches of the Western Front. This poignant artwork serves as a poignant reminder of the daily routines and simple pleasures that soldiers experienced amid the chaos and hardships of war. The discovery of a good cup of tea after a long morning's work was a small comfort in the face of the larger struggles that lay ahead.
