EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time during World War I, featuring four distinguished officers of the Royal Garrison Artillery, affectionately referred to as 'The Press Gang.' Among them is E. H. Shepard, the beloved illustrator best known for creating the classic children's character, Winnie-the-Pooh. Standing next to Shepard is D.C. Maddick, a secretary-lieutenant from the Illustrated Sporting & Dramatic News, the publication from which this photograph originates. Also present is A. Wallis Mills, another secretary-lieutenant and illustrator, who contributed to various magazines including Punch. Seated in the center is Lieutenant Bruce S. Ingram, the editor of the Illustrated London News and grandson of the paper's founder. The photograph was likely taken during their training, possibly at Woolwich, in 1916. The camaraderie and shared professional background of these men, all connected to the world of journalism and illustration, are palpable in this image. A poignant reminder of the diverse roles that individuals from various creative fields played during the war effort.
