Supplying The War Machine

 Continuing on with where I left off yesterday, here we have a dramatic painting by Munnings: Charge Of Flowerdew's Squadron.


This is Study For A Mural.


After leaving the Canadian Cavalry Brigade, the next unit Munnings spent time with was the Canadian Forestry Corps, where a different aspect of the war effort showed itself to him. Here we have A Team Of Blacks And A Mill.


The work of the Corps was vital for the war effort, allowing for timber to reach the front without having to cross the ocean and be subject to attack by u-boats.


Felling A Tree In The Vosges is the title of this painting.

    Each painting tells a unique story, that in itself is a gift. And yet each scene does draws me in to linger viewing the paintings, this too is a gift.

    He must have been painting constantly to produce so many pieces.

    The horses must have been traumatized by war.

    Battle scenes well portrayed with tension and fear.

    Wonderful paintings but I do feel for the horses especially those in the cavalry charge.

    What would they have done without horses?
