EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image, taken from the special panorama supplement 'Great War Deeds' produced by the Illustrated London News in 1915, captures the bravery and courage of the British Army Service Corps during the First World War. The painting, by the renowned artist Frederic de Haenen, depicts a train of motor lorries charging through a body of German cavalry. The scene is a testament to the ingenuity and determination of the Allied forces, as they employ their new motorized transport to outmaneuver their horse-mounted enemies. The lorries, with their drivers and passengers, are shown in sharp contrast to the disorganized and confused German cavalry, who are unable to keep pace with the advancing vehicles. The attack represents a significant shift in the nature of warfare during the First World War, as motorized transport began to play an increasingly important role in military strategy. This powerful image serves as a reminder of the heroic actions and deeds of the men who served during this conflict, and the bravery and courage they displayed in the face of adversity.
