My Great-Grandfather Holly Vandyck served in France in World War I…he was also an exceptional artist. Recently my father entrusted me with his sketchbook to try and preserve the artworks as the book itself is starting to fall apart. All the images in the book were drawn during the war…some even depicting the actual battles. I have scanned all the images and am trying to think of the best way to present them. It seems that he had a sense of humour too, many of his images poke fun at war. A sense of humour would be essential I guess under such extreme circumstances. All the sketches are ink and watercolour on a heavy linen paper bound together in a cloth book. Best viewed large There is no retouching done apart from adding the border and drop shadow. I am loathe to put these up on the web as it would be devastating if they were stolen…but they are so incredible that I want to share them with you. PLEASE respect that these hold a special importance to my family. (c) Van Dyck Family 2009

Remembrance Day – also known as Poppy Day, Armistice Day (the event it commemorates) or Veterans Day – is a day to commemorate the sacrifices of members of the armed forces and of civilians in times of war, specifically since the First World War. It is observed on 11 November to recall the end of World War I on that date in 1918. The day was specifically dedicated by King George V, on 7 November 1919, to the observance of members of the armed forces who were killed during war, this was possibly done upon the suggestion of Edward George Honey to Wellesley Tudor Pole, who established two ceremonial periods of remembrance based on events in 1917 / info taken from Wikipedia This is dedicated to my grandfather Henry E Cottrell a civilian killed during WWII and to all the other casualties of war.

Standing Stones / by Loreena McKinnett stirs my soul, as do the Dolmen or table stones that served as a burial chamber before the earth covering it was washed away. Marking the entrance to ANNWN, the Otherworld, the blessed land of eternal youth where the dead wait ready for their rebirth. / This photograph was taken last Summer Solstice from atop a high bluff overlooking the Columbia River, with the watchfull Mount Hood guarding from a distance. Amarica’s Stonehenge is a World War I memorial, the altar stone was in place by July 4, 1918 and dedicated with a bronze plaque which reads:”In memeory of the soldiers and sailors of Klickitat County, who gave their lives in defense of their country. This monument is erected in hope that others, inspired by the example of their valor and their heroism, may share in that love of liberty and burn with that fire of patriotism, which death alone can quench.” / This replica was completed in 1929, and since has become War memorials for all US involved conflicts since. / Although it’s not the original, which is built in the Salisbury Plains, in England during the late Stone-age and early Bronze-age periods, between 2750 to 1500 BC; Sam Hill’s scheme to replicate an astronomical observatory on another continent, was quite the undertaking in the early 1900’s. The saying, “Where in the Sam Hill did you get a notion like that” was coined from this undertaking…

The subdued light is a beacon for humanity lost in a world wide orgy of unadulterated madness. / / They met each other and their fate in muddy trenches, spiritually degraded and morally confused. Senseless murder did not discriminate, it made them all victims of a crime whose magnitude numbs your logic, turns your love into a still nature of sort. Just a thought of a civilization buried below my feet fills my head with panic. The souls who live in other people’s hearts live forever. They are still around, one more reason to remember to care. This candle is for them, and only for them. The ones who raped their ideals have found their own fires already.

The National War Memorial in St. John’s, Newfoundland is the most elaborate of all the post World War I monuments in Newfoundland. It was erected at King’s Beach on Water Street where, in 1583, Sir Humphrey Gilbert claimed Newfoundland for England. It was formally unveiled on Memorial Day, July 1, 1924 by Field Marshal Douglas Haig, 1st Earl Haig. At the top of the central pedestal is a figure of a woman. It symbolizes Newfoundland’s willingness to serve and the spirit of loyalty to the Empire. She is holding a flaming torch in her left hand as a symbol of freedom. In her right hand, she is holding a sword poised and ready to battle, if she must. Each year the National War Memorial is the site of several ceremonies to commemorate those soldiers who died in past wars.

October 2007 Pencil Inspired by the literature of Edgar Allan Poe. The figure is mysterious; the costume it wears intended to hide the limbs and gender of the person or creature beneath. The character is meant to be a bringer of death via subtle means so I decided to incorporate elements of plague doctors, WWI gas masks plus vulture and crow feathers into the design.

This mural was aside a building in Selah, WA. It’s etching on the wall reminded me of… SKY ETCHINGS Consider this please, when you gaze in awe to the sky / Those fireworks that burst and boom, remind Vets of a time to die / / Each Colorful rocket glares fear and adrenaline recall / Signaling helps from artillery for unseen enemy walls Deadly consequences in memories of bloody warzones / While fire burns in the sky, soldiers’ unsung soul does intone Celebrating battles triumphant, honoring tools that kill / While those who sacrificed and lived – defy ‘wars’ will Soldiers who’ve fought for peace are betrayed with each firework blast / With a slap from our hands and sensory shocks of the past. / tkrosevear 7/08 /

grave in Greenacres (pronounced grin-akers) Cemetery, Oldham, Lancashire, May 2009 I found this really moving, always felt for those who lost their lives in the massacre that was WWI and this representation of a soldier just spoke to me. What passing bells for these who die as cattle? / Only the monstrous anger of the guns. / Only the stuttering rifles’ rapid rattle / Can patter out their hasty orisons. / No mockeries now for them; no prayers nor bells; / Nor any voice of mourning save the choirs, / The shrill, demented choirs of wailing shells; / And bugles calling for them from sad shires. / What candles may be held to speed them all? / Not in the hands of boys, but in their eyes / Shall shine the holy glimmers of good-byes. / The pallor of girls’ brows shall be their pall; / Their flowers the tenderness of patient minds, / And each slow dusk a drawing-down of blinds Anthem For Doomed Youth – Siegfried Sassoon photo +40 saturation, then cross processed in Paint Shop Pro Photo X2 Nikon D60 / AF-S NIKKOR 18-55 DX VR Exposure: 0.008 sec (1/125) / Aperture: f/5.6 / Focal Length: 52 mm / ISO Speed: 200 FEATURED WORK – AMAZING GRAVES – MAY 2009 COPYRIGHT
