Description
English: As an official Canadian war artist, Frederick Varley, a future member of the Group of Seven, painted many scenes on the Western Front. Here, German prisoners walk along a rocky road past rows of dead trees, debris, and bodies. Varley found mud a problem while working at the front during the fall of 1918. German planes flew overhead, and there was occasional shelling around his area. On September 16 he wrote to his wife: "I've just mapped out a canvas of a subject - the details having been gathered in spasms. All my notes up to the present are the slightest - no paintings - couldn't be done - I had to scoot 'avec vite' from one of my horrors for the Hun took a fancy to the same place & chucked his shells right over."
