PT3037 The Veteran - Print

Print by David Wright. Drawn by a sense of duty to one’s country and in some cases, the promise of glory on the battlefield, many young men joined family members and friends and went off to “fight the war.” Some were mere boys, as young as ten and twelve years but rather than serving in the capacity of rifle toting soldiers, they became drummers and fifers – important duties when it came to moving troops and boosting morale. That many of these young men were wounded and some even killed in battle attest to the dangerous conditions to which they were exposed. They shared the same difficulties, hardships, and privations as any soldier in the field. They were veterans in every sense of the word. Limited edition of 1200 signed and numbered prints. Size is 22” X 28”.
