Description: | Eric H Kennington 15
image: a full length portrait of a British infantryman in full kit, facing away from the viewer.
The soldier depicted here is Private A McCafferty of the 13th Battalion of the London Regiment, more famously known as
the Kensingtons. This is a study for the appearance of McCafferty, second from the left, in Kennington's painting 'The Kensingtons at
Laventie' (IWM ART 15661). The painting depicts men of No. 7 Platoon, C Company of the Kensingtons after returning from an arduous period
in snowy conditions in the front line near Laventie in northern France. The artist Eric Kennington was himself a member of this platoon and
appears in the finished painting, third from the left. | Publisher: | http://www.iwm.org.uk | Subjects: | Western Front 1914-1918 A 13th Battalion 8th Division Western Front British Army 1914-1918 British Army Military Personnel London Regiment portrait / personification Uniforms McCafferty First World War 25th Brigade | Source: | Imperial War Museum | Creator: | Kennington, Eric Henri (RA) | Identifier: | http://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/o... | Go to resource |
