EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases five portraits of Tommies, or ordinary soldiers, from the 36th Company of the 20th City of London Battalion, stationed in Chiselhurst, Kent, during the First World War in 1915. The five portraits depict the soldiers in various settings: Marching Order, Guard Mounting, Guard, Cave, and Fatigue. Among these brave men is Private P.J. Hill of D Company, 20th Battalion, The County of London Regiment. Private Hill's portrait stands out as he is shown in a more contemplative moment, likely during a break from the rigors of military life. His biographical details are inscribed below the portrait, revealing that he was an accomplished artist before enlisting. He studied at the prestigious Lambeth School of Art, located at St. Oswald's Place, Upper Kennington Lane, in London. Prior to his military service, Private Hill resided at 6 Amott Road in Peckham Rye. The five portraits offer a poignant glimpse into the lives of these ordinary soldiers, whose stories are often overlooked in the annals of military history. The diverse settings and expressions convey the range of experiences these men faced during their service, from the disciplined marching order to the quiet moments of rest and reflection. This evocative print serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by the Tommies during the First World War.
