EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph captures the rich history and symbolic significance of the Fovant Badges, etched into the rolling hills of Wiltshire. Created in 2015 by talented photographer Damian Grady, this print showcases three remarkable military badges - those of the Royal Corps of Signals, The Wiltshire Regiment, and London Rifle Brigade. The Fovant Badges are a poignant reminder of the brave soldiers who served their country during times of conflict. Carved into the chalky landscape with meticulous precision, these badges stand as enduring tributes to their sacrifice and valor. From above, they form an awe-inspiring sight that evokes a sense of pride and reverence. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to an era when these regiments played vital roles in shaping our nation's history. Each badge tells its own unique story - tales of camaraderie, courage on the battlefield, and unwavering dedication to duty. Damian Grady's expert composition allows us to appreciate not only the intricate details within each badge but also their harmonious placement against nature's canvas. The contrast between man-made symbols and Mother Earth's raw beauty is strikingly evident here. This print serves as a testament to our shared heritage and reminds us never to forget those who have fought for our freedom. It invites us to reflect upon our past while inspiring future generations with stories that deserve remembrance for years to come.
