EDITORS COMMENTS
Private R Biggins of the 2nd Battalion Notts. & Derby Regiment is depicted in this powerful and poignant image as he fearlessly leads his comrades in an attack on a crater at Hooge on the 9th of August 1915. The scene of the First World War battlefield is one of chaos and destruction, with smoke and debris filling the air as the soldiers advance towards the enemy lines. Private Biggins, with determination etched on his face, holds his rifle high and charges forward, inspiring his fellow soldiers to follow suit. The conspicuous bravery displayed by Private Biggins during this attack was later recognized with the award of the Distinguished Conduct Medal (DCM). His deeds, along with countless others, served to thrill the Empire and uphold the indomitable spirit of the British military during this pivotal moment in history. Francis E. Hiley, the artist behind this evocative painting, captured the raw emotion and intensity of the moment, providing a glimpse into the lives of the soldiers who fought valiantly on the Western Front. Private Biggins, who flourished between 1910 and 1937, is but one of the many unsung heroes whose stories deserve to be remembered and celebrated. This image serves as a testament to their courage and sacrifice, offering a poignant reminder of the human cost of war.
