EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative pencil drawing by Lieutenant Richard Barrett Talbot Kelly captures the harsh realities of life in the forward observation dugout during the First World War. Dated to June 1915, the sketch depicts a small, makeshift shelter nestled within the trenches of the Indian Village in Festubert, France. The dugout, fortified with sandbags and wooden props, served as a vital post for British artillery observers stationed on the Western Front. The scene is one of quiet intensity, with the observer, likely a member of the 9th Scottish Division, poised over a map spread out on a wooden table. His gaze is fixed on the horizon, scanning the battlefield for any signs of enemy movement. A water bottle and several empty bottles are scattered about, evidence of the long hours spent in this cramped, damp space. The drawing offers a glimpse into the harsh living conditions endured by soldiers during the Great War. The use of naturalistic tones and attention to detail in the depiction of the dugout and its surroundings underscores the artist's keen observation skills and ability to capture the essence of the trenches. Kelly's Forward Observation Dugout at Indian Village, Festubert, is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers during the First World War. The drawing offers a unique perspective on the daily life and challenges faced by those on the front lines, and serves as a testament to the resilience and determination of the men who fought in this devastating conflict.
