EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print showcases Piper George Findlater, a brave soldier from the Gordon Highlanders who earned the prestigious Victoria Cross during his service in Dargai in 1897. The oil on canvas artwork, created by Edward Matthew Hale, measures 91.4X152.4 cm and is currently housed at the National Army Museum in London. In this powerful depiction, we see Piper George Findlater playing the regimental march despite being severely wounded. Shot in both feet and unable to stand, he defies all odds to encourage his comrades on the battlefield. His unwavering determination and selflessness are truly inspiring. This image not only captures a moment of great courage but also serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers like Piper Findlater during times of war. It highlights their resilience and dedication to their fellow soldiers even amidst immense pain and injury. Through this painting, artist Edward Matthew Hale beautifully portrays not just an act of bravery but also explores themes of medicine, health, and the human spirit's ability to endure hardship. As we admire this remarkable piece of art from Fine Art Finder's collection through Bridgeman Images' lens, let us remember those who have fought valiantly for our freedom and honor their incredible acts of heroism that will forever be etched into history.
