EDITORS COMMENTS
How Lance-Corporal Holmes won the V. C. 1914-19 (litho) captures a powerful moment of heroism during the tumultuous years of World War I. The lithograph, created by an anonymous English School artist in the 20th century, pays tribute to Frederick William Holmes, a true embodiment of courage and selflessness. In this remarkable print, we witness Lance-Corporal Holmes's extraordinary act of bravery that earned him the prestigious Victoria Cross. On August 26th, 1914, amidst heavy enemy fire and chaos in the trenches, he fearlessly carried a wounded comrade to safety. This daring rescue exemplifies not only his unwavering commitment to his fellow soldiers but also his indomitable spirit in the face of danger. The artist skillfully portrays Lance-Corporal Holmes's determination and strength as he performs what can only be described as a fireman's lift on his injured comrade. Every line etched into this engraving speaks volumes about their shared bond and camaraderie amidst the horrors of war. This poignant artwork serves as a reminder of all those who risked their lives for others during the Great War. It symbolizes not just one man's heroic actions but also represents countless acts of valor displayed by British soldiers throughout World War I. As we gaze upon this print from Fine Art Finder's Private Collection, let us honor Lance-Corporal Holmes and all those who selflessly served their country with bravery and sacrifice during that
