EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures the heroic moment of Second-Lieutenant G. H. Woolley leading his men in the defense of Hill 60 during World War I. The image portrays a scene on the front line, where soldiers are entrenched in a fierce battle against overwhelming odds. With their faces etched with determination and bravery, these valiant soldiers stand united as they face the horrors of war. Second-Lieutenant G. H. Woolley, depicted at the center of this print, emerges as an emblematic figure embodying courage and resilience. His leadership shines through as he fearlessly directs his men amidst chaos and destruction. This battle proved to be pivotal for Woolley, earning him the prestigious Victoria Cross - a testament to his extraordinary valor and dedication to duty. The artist's skillful use of light and shadow adds depth to this poignant depiction of warfare. Explosions illuminate the darkened battlefield while mortar shells rain down upon them, symbolizing both danger and defiance in equal measure. Set against the backdrop of Belgium's treacherous terrain, this lithograph serves as a powerful reminder of those who fought selflessly for their country during one of history's most devastating conflicts. It pays homage not only to Lieutenant Woolley but also to all soldiers who displayed unwavering bravery in defense of freedom. This remarkable artwork is part of a private collection that preserves its historical significance for future generations to appreciate and commemorate those who sacrificed everything on behalf of Queen Victoria's Rifles during World War I.
