L Jonas 1917
image: four British infantrymen attack a German trench protected with barbed wire. One of the men stands full length, his
arms flung upwards as if he has just been hit by enemy fire. It is interesting to note that these British soldiers are not particularly
youthful, with one of the men struggling to lift himself up to the enemy trench. This contrasts with the often youthful American soldiers
depicted in other Lucian Jonas prints. By 1917, Jonas often used such devices to emphasise how Britain and France had been at war for three
long years, as opposed to the newly arriving Americans. | Publisher: | http://www.iwm.org.uk | Subjects: | Action Military Personnel British Army wounded / disabled Western Front trench / defences First World War | Source: | Imperial War Museum | Creator: | Jonas, Lucien | Identifier: | http://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/o... | Go to resource |
