EDITORS COMMENTS
The powerful litho print captures a moment of extraordinary heroism during the chaos and destruction of World War I. Gunner J Rafferty, a British soldier, is seen carrying a wounded woman to safety from a farmhouse that is being mercilessly shelled. The image showcases the immense bravery and selflessness displayed by individuals in times of war. In this illustration for "Deeds That Thrill The Empire" artist John Harris Valda beautifully depicts the courage and determination required to save lives amidst the horrors of combat. Gunner J Rafferty's act of rescuing the injured woman exemplifies the unwavering commitment soldiers had towards protecting others, even at great personal risk. The composition highlights not only the physical strain placed on both Gunner J Rafferty and the wounded woman but also their emotional connection as they navigate through danger together. Their expressions convey fear, pain, and resilience in equal measure. This artwork serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by countless individuals during World War I. It pays tribute to those who put their own lives on hold to ensure others' survival and reflects upon themes such as bravery, heroism, and compassion in times of adversity. As we reflect upon this historical event captured within this litho print, it reminds us all about our shared humanity and how acts of kindness can shine brightly even in moments overshadowed by violence and destruction.
