EDITORS COMMENTS
No reply, Sir - line cut again: A Glimpse into the Life of Captain Gilbert Holiday, Royal Field Artillery This evocative photograph captures the stoic determination of Captain Gilbert Holiday, Royal Field Artillery, as he diligently monitors his post during the First World War. The captioned image, "No reply, Sir - line cut again," speaks to the unyielding nature of the frontlines and the importance of unwavering focus and communication in the face of adversity. Born in St. Johns Wood, London, Holiday's early life was marked by a unique connection to the military through his ability to observe the Royal Horse Artillery from his window. Following his education at Westminster and the R.A. Schools, Holiday pursued a career as an illustrator for esteemed publications such as The Graphic, The Tatler, and The Illustrated London News. When war broke out, Holiday answered the call to duty, serving as a gunner in the Royal Field Artillery on the Western Front. His experiences during this time inspired him to create numerous paintings for army messes, capturing the essence of life on the frontlines and providing a valuable record of history. This photograph offers a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers like Captain Holiday during times of conflict. His story serves as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the power of art to preserve and document history.
