EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the heroic moment when Captain F. O. Grenfell VC led a charge of the 9th Lancers on August 24, 1914, to retake captured guns near Doubon during World War I. The image showcases Captain Grenfell mounted on his horseback, fearlessly leading his men into battle. The intensity and determination in Captain Grenfell's eyes are palpable as he brandishes his sabre, ready to reclaim what was lost. This courageous act resulted in him being awarded the prestigious Victoria Cross for his exceptional bravery. Published in London in 1916 as part of The War Illustrated Album Deluxe, this historical photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by individuals like Captain Grenfell during times of war. It encapsulates not only the physicality and danger faced by soldiers but also their unwavering spirit and commitment to duty. Ken Welsh's expertly preserved print allows us to relive this significant moment from history with remarkable clarity. As we gaze upon this image, we can't help but be inspired by the valor displayed by Captain F. O. Grenfell VC and all those who fought alongside him in defense of freedom and justice during World War I.
