EDITORS COMMENTS
Sir Samuel Hughes: A Canadian Statesman on Horseback in the Heart of War-Torn France, 1916 This evocative illustration captures Sir Samuel Hughes, a prominent Canadian statesman and the Minister of Militia during World War I, as he confidently rides his horse through the battlefields of France in December 1916. Hughes, born in Ireland in 1853, immigrated to Canada in 1875 and rose to prominence as a successful businessman and politician. As the Minister of Militia, Hughes played a pivotal role in the expansion of the Canadian military during the First World War. He oversaw the creation of the Canadian Expeditionary Force, which saw over 600,000 Canadians serve abroad. Hughes' unwavering commitment to the war effort earned him the nickname 'Samuel Samson of the Canadian Army.' In this illustration, Hughes is depicted in his military uniform, wearing a fur-trimmed greatcoat and a felt hat adorned with a maple leaf insignia. His steed, its coat glistening with rain, plods forward through the muddy terrain, while Hughes scans the horizon with a determined gaze. The backdrop of the illustration is the desolate and war-torn French countryside, a stark reminder of the brutal realities of the conflict. This powerful image encapsulates the spirit of Sir Samuel Hughes, a man who dedicated himself to the service of his country during its darkest hour. Hughes continued to serve as Minister of Militia until 1917, when he resigned due to health issues. He passed away in 1921, leaving behind a lasting legacy as a Canadian hero and a testament to the indomitable spirit of the human will to persevere in the face of adversity.
