EDITORS COMMENTS
In the chaotic and harrowing landscape of the First World War battlefield, the indomitable spirit of human courage shines through the darkness. This evocative image captures the moment of bravery and determination embodied by Lance-Corporal Charles A Jarvis of the Royal Engineers. Amidst the deafening roar of battle, Jarvis fixed a firing charge for the demolition of a critical bridge under heavy enemy fire. His unwavering resolve to complete this vital mission, despite the imminent danger, earned him the prestigious Victoria Cross. This painting, produced by renowned artist R. Caton Woodville for the special panorama supplement "Great War Deeds" by the Illustrated London News in 1915, offers a poignant glimpse into the heroic actions of the First World War. The scene is set along the water's edge, with the remnants of destruction in the background, as Jarvis and his horse, their faces etched with concentration and determination, labor tirelessly to secure the explosives. The horses, too, display an unwavering loyalty and courage, standing steadfast amidst the chaos. As we bear witness to this powerful image, we are reminded of the extraordinary acts of bravery and selflessness that defined the human spirit during the Great War. The legacy of Lance-Corporal Jarvis and countless others like him continues to inspire us, as we honor their sacrifices and remember the history they helped shape.
