Tommies in Flanders 1914 - World War 1 (1914 - 1918) Painting

My own father was born in 1897 and fought in the trenches in Flanders, during WW I I always remember him speaking about the mud. About having to peep over the top of the trench to see what the Germans were up to He came home, married and brought up six children. I'm the youngest and the only one of them still alive today How he came through it all without a scratch I'll never know, but he did. He had a wonderful sense of humour and I still think about him every day. I'm 73 now. He died when I was just seven years old. But what a man. Everybody loved him, cos he made them laugh. Here you can see the men, some only late teens or early twenties. Many cut down on the battle field. But they were ordered to walk towards German machine guns. Not run, but walk. If they didn't obey, they were shot at dawn the following day. God the Brits were led by bloody idiots who didn't give a damn about thousands dead in a morning. Most of the so called "elite" have NEVER had much of a conscience So that's why I've painted this picture. I hope you can see the expressions in the their faces. They look like they've had enough. War really is hell
