The intricate details and skilled craftsmanship of Bone's work bring to life the tension and danger experienced during this tumultuous time in history. The looming presence of the balloons against a backdrop of war-torn landscapes serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by those who fought in the Great War.
