The Kensingtons at Laventie

iwm_art_015661

A platoon of British soldiers standing in a village street. There is an exterior whitewashed wall in the background, snow on the ground, debris scattered around to the right, and above, a calvary cross in the top corner of the composition. The figures are loosely grouped on the left, with one man lying sprawled on the ground below, and another standing off to the right. Each man stares off in a different direction. Metal objects, a helmet, a fork and a belt-buckle are picked out in gold metallic paint.
