EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image, reproduced from the special panorama supplement 'Great War Deeds' produced by the Illustrated London News in 1915, depicts a brave charge by the 9th (Queens Royal) Lancers during the early days of the First World War in 1914. The scene captures the intensity and danger of the battlefield as the British cavalry unit, led by their fearless commander, Captain FO Grenfell, gallantly charge towards the enemy lines to recapture British guns momentarily in German hands. The heavy fire from the Germans is shown being met with unwavering courage and determination by the soldiers and their horses. This heroic action, which took place near the village of Hollebeke in Belgium, was later recognized with the award of the Victoria Cross, the highest military decoration, to Captain Grenfell. A C Michael's painting brings to life the extraordinary deeds of the soldiers during this pivotal moment in the conflict, offering a glimpse into the bravery and courage displayed on the battlefield during the First World War.
