EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful and evocative print captures the moment of the Storming of Le Quesnoy by New Zealand troops on 4 November 1918. In the chaotic scene, two second lieutenants lead their men in a daring assault on the fortified town, scaling the high ramparts with ladders. The determined soldiers, embodying the courage and resilience of the Anzacs, charge forward against the Germans defending the walls. The event marked the final major battle fought by the New Zealand Division during the First World War and played a significant role in the Allied advance towards the Armistice. This historic image, created by renowned war artist Matania in 1919, immortalizes the bravery and sacrifice of the New Zealanders who took part in this pivotal moment in the annals of military history.
