"The Dead Stretcher Bearer" (1919)

Gilbert Rogers was in the Royal Army Medical Corp. and in his painting, The Dead Street Bearer he takes components of the war seen through his own eyes. This painting is a form of realism art that is full of horrific and gritty pieces of World War I. He helped serve the point that no matter what you are doing in the war it’s only a matter of time until you are a part of the horror. This painting is a great depiction of the pain war can serve, the loss of lives, community, and peace in this world and I believe it serves a great place in our exhibit.
