EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative oil sketch by Frederick Roe captures the 4th Battalion Suffolk Regiment in action during the Battle of Neuve Chapelle on the Western Front in March 1915. As part of the Jullundur Brigade, Lahore Division, Indian Corps, the Suffolk Regiment charged towards the Bois de Biez on the 12th of that month, contributing to the British offensive against the German lines. The painting masterfully portrays the intensity and chaos of the battlefield, with soldiers from the 4th Battalion advancing through a haze of black smoke, their determined faces etched with focus and resolve. The Indian Corps played a crucial role in the Battle of Neuve Chapelle, which marked the first significant British victory on the Western Front during World War I. This historical painting, created by Roe in 1915, offers a poignant and powerful reminder of the courage and sacrifice of the soldiers who fought in this pivotal engagement.
