EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative pen and ink silhouette drawing, created by a wounded French officer in 1915 during King George V's visit to the Western Front in the midst of World War I, captures the raw emotion and intensity of the conflict. The silhouetted figures of a British trooper (1) stand proudly at attention, his rifle slung over his shoulder, embodying the unwavering resolve and courage of the soldiers on the front lines. The Scottish motto "Scotland Forever!" (2 and 3) is emblazoned on the soldier's hat, a testament to the strong Scottish presence within the British army. King George V himself (4) is depicted in the background, visiting the troops and offering a sense of hope and solidarity amidst the chaos of war. The final figure, "The Stand" (5), represents the unyielding determination of the soldiers to hold their ground and defend their homeland. This powerful and poignant illustration provides a unique glimpse into the experiences of the soldiers at the Western Front during this pivotal moment in history.
