EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite miniature silhouette captures the likeness of Captain Alfred Arnold Ernest Gyde, a distinguished soldier who served in the 2nd Battalion South Staffordshire Regiment during World War I. The bust-length silhouette, framed in ebonised wood, showcases Gyde in his Mess Dress uniform, an elegant attire worn for formal military occasions. The inscription on the hand-written label on the reverse of the frame reveals that Gyde was commissioned into the regiment on the 16th of September 1913 and retired from service in 1924. The label also bears significant historical importance as it states that Gyde was wounded on the 22nd of September 1914, during the early stages of the war. This miniature silhouette is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers like Gyde during the First World War. The intricate details of the uniform and the precision of the silhouette technique highlight the artistry and craftsmanship of the era. Captain Alfred Arnold Ernest Gyde's miniature silhouette is a valuable historical artifact that preserves the memory of a brave soldier and his service to his country. The ebonised frame adds an air of sophistication and timelessness to the portrait, making it a beautiful addition to any collection of military history or World War I memorabilia.
