Swamped by mud amidst a desolate, shattered landscape, men and horses of the Royal Field Artillery drag their 18 pounder field-gun towards a new position on 15 November 1917, during the final days of the Battle of Passchendaele. Whilst the army continues its grim fight on the ground, overhead Sopwith Camels from 45 Squadron Royal Flying Corps tangle in an equally deadly duel with German Albatros fighters of Jasta 6. Flying the lead Sopwith Camel is the RFC Ace, 2nd Lt Kenneth Montgomery who scored the last of his 12 victories in this dogfight when he shot down the German Ace Leutnant Hans Ritter von Adam, the Commanding Officer of Jasta 6 with an impressive 21 victories to his name. To commemorate one of the most significant anniversaries in history, Anthony Saunders has created a powerful painting portraying the bleak sacrifice made by so many heroic young men. The names of the bitter battles they endured, however, still live on a hundred years later - Ypres, the Somme, Vimy Ridge, Arras, Loos - and one of the most savage - Passchendaele.

Royal Field Artillery by Richard Caton Woodville. 		On March 3rd 1915, during the operations on the Persian Gulf, an attempt was made by the British to reconnoitre the Turkish position west of Aswaz, on the Karun River. The enemy was found to be present in overwhelming numbers, a force of 12,000 men being opposed to the small British force of 1,000. The British undertook a retirement, but it was not carried out without heavy fighting. When the sub section of artillery, to which Sergeant G Ayres, of the 82nd Battery, royal Field Artillery, belonged was suffering casualties in men and horses he succeeded in extricating them under very difficult circumstances on several occasions. He was awarded the D.C.M. for conspicuous ability and gallantry.

When one of his battery wagons had been set on fire by a shell near Croix Barbie, on September 16th 1915, and when both the wagon body and a cartridge were blazing, Major Robinson Warren, of the 73rd Battery, Royal field Artillery, removed the remainder of the ammunition at great personal risk. The enemy at the time were directing a heavy and accurate fire on the battery, and for his conspicuous gallantry Major Warren was awarded the D.S.O.
