EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative drawing, inscribed "G.H. to F.S.", depicts a horse-drawn ammunition column and an artillery piece being towed by a traction engine. The scene is reminiscent of French reinforcements making their way to the front lines during a time of war. The artist, Captain Gilbert Holiday, was inspired by this sight, having grown up in St. Johns Wood and frequently observing the Royal Horse Artillery from his window. Holiday's early life was marked by an education at Westminster and studies at the Royal Academy Schools. Before serving in the Royal Field Artillery on the Western Front during World War I, he worked as an illustrator for various publications, including The Graphic, The Tatler, and The Illustrated London News. Holiday's experiences as a gunner during the war led him to create many paintings for army messes. This drawing showcases his exceptional talent for capturing the essence of military life and the determination of the horses and men as they move forward, ready to support their comrades on the battlefield.
