Capture of a German Battery by Richard Caton Woodville. German 77mm battery captured by C Company, 2nd Battalion the Manchester Regiment, 2nd April 1917 at Francilly Selency. The attacks on Francilly-Selency would prove costly and difficult to the attacking British forces. The Germans had dug in well. But the Manchester Regiments 2nd battalion, attacking from Roupy just beyond Savy village, towards the large hill which would later be called Manchester Hill, captured the German 77nn Gun battery. The Manchester Regiment would again be on the attack on the 14th of April at Fayet and would go on to the trenches of the Hindenburg line at Gricourt road, San Quentin. |

The regiments of the 29th Division are the Middlesex Regiment, Lancashire Fusiliers, Dublin Fusiliers, Royal Fusiliers and the Newfoundland Regiment. |
The First of the European War by Richard Caton Woodville. Captain Grenfell led the 9th Lancers to the action at Audregnies, during the Battle of Mons, against a large body of German infantry who were advancing to encircle the 5th Division. This action was compared to the Charge of the Light Brigade since it demonstrated great bravery but accomplished little. Later in the day Grenfell and his men helped to drag away British guns which were in danger of being captured. In this painting, the artist appears to have combined the two events. Although not the first action of the Great War for which the Victoria Cross waas to be awarded, Grenfell was the first to be gazetted, that is, officially listed in the London Gazette as a recipient. |

Backs to the Wall by Robert Gibb. The painting was inspired by Sir Douglas Haig's famous Special Order of the Day at the time of the Great German Offensive of April 1918. …There is no other course open to us but to fight it out. Every position must be held to the last man: there must be no retirement. With our backs to the wall, and believing in the justice of our cause, each one of us must fight on to the end… This painting was Robert Gibb's final battle scene painted after the War and towards the end of his life. He died in Edinburgh in 1932. With our Backs to the Wall has become a saying in familiar use to many people even to this day when faced with a monumental task against overwhelming odds. |

Original Pencil Sketch for Battle of Cambrai, France, 20th November 1917 by David Pentland. (P) At 0620 hours covered by a brief barrage from 1000 guns, the tanks of C and F Battalions in MkIV tanks advanced alongside the men of the British 12th Division against the impregnable German Hindenburg line at Cambrai. Supported in the air by 4 RFC squadron flying ground attack missions, the general offensive had broken through 3 trench lines and penetrated 5 miles on a 6 mile front by lunchtime. Although these gains were not exploited and later retaken by a German counter offensive, Cambrai showed the full potential of the tank on the battlefield. |
The 5th Lancers Re-enter Mons, November 1918 by Richard Caton Woodville. The 5th Lancers (attached to the Canadian Corps) were the first British troops to re-enter Mons, just as they had been the last to leave Mons in August 1914. Very few of the troopers who left Mons in 1914 were there to re-enter in 1918. |

Cameron Highlanders Capture a German Force on the Yser by Jason Askew. This incident took place on October 23rd,1914. A party of German soldiers had been driven to take shelter in the small house. British artillery then targeted the house, making the situation of the Germans uncomfortable. Under cover of the bombardment, a company of Cameron Highlanders rushed the position, intercepting the Germans as they tried to extricate themselves. After a brief struggle, and being somewhat unnerved by the prompt appearance of the Highlanders; the German group surrendered. |
Charge of the 9th Lancers by Richard Caton Woodville. Depicts the charge of a squadron of the 9th Lancers against the Prussian Dragoons of the Guard at Moncel on the 7th September 1914. This was Cavalry action in the First World War when cavalry charged with both sides at full gallop. The 9th Lancers casualties were 3 killed and 7 wounded compared to heavy losses suffered by the Prussian Dragoons. |
Charge of the 9th Lancers - August 24th, 1914 by Allan Stewart (PC) During the Action of Elogues, a small skirmish that took place on the 24th of August 1914, the 4th (Royal Irish) Dragoon Guards and A Squadron, the 9th (Queens Royal) Lancers led a successful cavalry charge against German gun positions, pictured here. Note that: The title of this illustration suggests that this is the charge of the 9th Lancers, however, the horses that took part in that charge would not have been grey. Grey horses were dyed dark brown to make them less conspicuous, so this depiction of grey horses being used by either the 4th Dragoon Guards (who used black horses) or the 9th Lancers (who used brown horses) is fictitious. |
Gallipoli by Charles Dixon. Although a very brown picture, it shows the Lancashire Fusiliers coming of the beaches during the Gallipoli Campaign. |
German Assault on the Nimy Bridge, Mons, 23rd August 1914 by Jason Askew. German forces begin their assault on the Nimy Bridge, 23rd August 1914. The bridge was defended by the 4th Battalion The Royal Fusiliers. |
