The image captures a pivotal moment on April 25,1915, near Ypres in Potijze, Belgium. Under an onslaught of heavy shell fire, with danger lurking at every turn, Creasey fearlessly assists in unloading a burning ammunition wagon. The intensity is palpable as flames engulf the wagon and smoke billows into the air. Yet amidst this chaos and destruction, Creasey stands resolute and determined to fulfill his duty. This vivid color lithograph by George Derville Rowlandson immortalizes not only a specific act of bravery but also pays homage to all those who fought valiantly on the Western Front. It serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by British soldiers during World War I.
