EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases British Lieutenant W. T. Forshaw VC, a true hero of World War I. Published in London in 1916 as part of The War Illustrated Album deLuxe, this lithograph captures the essence of bravery and sacrifice. Lieutenant Forshaw's remarkable feat is depicted here - he fearlessly hurled hand grenades at the enemy for an astounding forty-one hours during an intense battle that took place from 7th to 9th August 1915 on the Gallipoli Peninsula in Turkey. His unwavering courage and determination earned him the prestigious Victoria Cross, the highest military honor awarded for acts of valor. In this image, we witness Lieutenant Forshaw amidst a chaotic scene of violence and conflict. Surrounded by fellow soldiers and armed with his weapons, he stands resolute against all odds. The explosion behind him symbolizes both destruction and defiance as these brave men confront each other on the battlefield. The artist's engraving technique adds depth and intensity to this powerful depiction of war. Every line etched into the print conveys not only physical confrontation but also highlights the emotional toll endured by those who fought during this tumultuous period. This print serves as a poignant reminder of Lieutenant Forshaw's extraordinary bravery and selflessness, paying tribute to all military officers like him who risked their lives for their countries during World War I.
