EDITORS COMMENTS
This set of sketches by renowned British artist William Barnes Wollen (1857-1936) offers a rare glimpse into the creation of his masterpiece, "Semper Fidelis" or "Ever Faithful," depicting the last stand of the 2nd Devonshire Regiment at Bois des Buttes during the climactic days of the First World War in 1918. The 2nd Devons, part of the British Expeditionary Force, faced the German onslaught in the final days of the Battle of Arras. On May 27th, 1918, the regiment, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Anderson-Moreshead, DSO, made a heroic stand against overwhelming enemy forces in the Bois des Buttes. The tenacious defense bought precious time for the Allied forces to regroup and ultimately secure a victory. Wollen's sketches capture the intensity and determination of the 2nd Devons during this pivotal moment in history. One sketch in particular, featuring Lieutenant-Colonel Anderson-Moreshead, highlights the leadership and courage that guided the men through the harrowing battle. The artist's skillful use of charcoal and graphite brings the scene to life, immortalizing the valor and sacrifice of these brave soldiers. "Semper Fidelis" is a poignant reminder of the unwavering loyalty and commitment of the 2nd Devonshire Regiment during the First World War. Wollen's powerful depiction of this historic event continues to inspire and captivate audiences, offering a glimpse into the courage and resilience of the soldiers who fought on the Western Front.
