EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The guerilla element in the Great War - where the Turco was at his best, 1914-19" transports us back to a significant moment during World War I. The lithograph, created by an English School artist in the 20th century, showcases a remarkable incident that occurred on the east bank of the Ypres Canal between Elverdinghe and Pilkum. In this intense scene, we witness a clash between Prussian infantry and the formidable Turcos. The unsuspecting Prussians find themselves caught off guard as they are ambushed by these skilled guerrilla fighters. With bayonets drawn and surprise on their side, the Turcos launch a fierce attack that leaves their enemies utterly destroyed. The image captures not only the chaos of battle but also highlights elements such as siege tactics and barns being utilized as strategic positions. It serves as a powerful reminder of how unconventional warfare played a crucial role during this tumultuous period known as "the great war". Preserved within a private collection belonging to The Stapleton Collection, this engraving from Bridgeman Images offers us an invaluable glimpse into history. As we reflect upon World War I's devastating impact and honor those who fought bravely, let us remember moments like these when guerilla warfare proved instrumental in shaping its course.
