EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking plaster cast depicts a Sergeant of the Grenadier Guards in Marching Order, sculpted by the renowned British artist George Edward Wade (1853-1933). The meticulously detailed sculpture showcases the military discipline and regality of the Grenadier Guards, a distinguished regiment of the British Army. The original sculpture was part of a private family collection and is an exceptional example of Wade's artistic talent. Wade is best known for his Peace Memorial at Quarry Bank, Staffordshire, which was unveiled on 24th October 1931. The memorial features a bronze figure of Christ and pays tribute to the men of Quarry Bank who lost their lives during the Great War (WW1). The Sergeant of the Grenadier Guards in Marching Order is a testament to Wade's ability to capture the essence of military history and the sacrifices made during times of conflict. The intricate details of the uniform, the stern expression on the sergeant's face, and the precise posture of the figure all contribute to the overall impact of the sculpture. As a historical artifact, this cast offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing valuable insights into military life during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The Sergeant of the Grenadier Guards in Marching Order is not only a beautiful work of art but also an important piece of military and historical significance.
