EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a collection of caricatures of distinguished members of the Royal Army Medical Corps (RAMC) during the First World War, created by the skilled hand of caricaturist Fred May in 1918. Clockwise from the top left, we encounter the faces of Captain A.J. McCready, Major W.T. Harkness, Lieutenant Brewen, Captain Banbury, Lieut-Colonel Beattie, and Captain Livingstone. Each portrait masterfully captures the unique character and personality of these medical officers, adding a touch of humor and humanity to the otherwise somber context of war. The RAMC played a crucial role in the military effort during WWI, providing medical care and support to the wounded and sick soldiers on the battlefield. These portraits offer a glimpse into the lives of some of the dedicated individuals who served in this vital corps. The uniforms and accoutrements of the time are faithfully rendered, adding to the historical authenticity of the piece. Caricatures were a popular form of entertainment during the early 20th century, and this collection provides a unique and engaging perspective on the soldiers who served in the medical corps during WWI. The artistry of Fred May brings these portraits to life, allowing us to connect with these individuals and appreciate their contributions to the war effort. This print is an invaluable historical document and a testament to the spirit of the men and women who served in the RAMC during this pivotal period in world history.
