EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite miniature portrait captures the likeness of Major Sir Frederick FitzWygram, MC, a brave and distinguished soldier of the 2nd Battalion Scots Guards. Born in 1884, Sir Frederick gave his life for his country during the First World War, being captured on the fateful day of May 17, 1915, at the Battle of Festubert. At the time, he valiantly commanded F Company. Sir Frederick's heroic actions during the war were chronicled in the esteemed book "The Scots Guards in the Great War," authored by Loraine F. Petre, Wilfrid Ewart, and Cecil Lowther, published by Murray in 1925. Pages 93 to 95 of this historical text pay tribute to Sir Frederick's unwavering dedication and service. The family motto of the FitzWygrams, "Dulcius Amor Patrie" - The love of one's country is sweet - is a testament to Sir Frederick's deep-rooted patriotism and commitment to defending his homeland. Born to uphold this noble tradition, Sir Frederick's legacy as a gallant soldier continues to inspire and remind us of the sacrifices made during the Great War.
