During the Great War Lavery was commissioned as a war artist. Several of his war paintings are on display at the Lavery on Location Exhibition at the Scottish National Gallery.
Mine-Laying Submarines Harwich 1917:-
Hendon 1917. Hendon was a Royal Flying Corps training base. I really liked this as I’m a sucker for biplanes:-
More sombrely this is The Cemetery, Étaples:-
Daylight Raid from my Studio:-
A Coast Defence. An 18-Pounder Anti-Aircraft Gun, Tyneside:-
Lavery was almost alone in portraying those who became casualties. Wounded, London:-
More of Lavery’s works can be seen on the Ulster Museum’s website, here.
