context: Sargent received an order to create a painting from the Committee on British War Memorials, which aimed to preserve with the help of fine art the memory of the victims of the First World War. Having left for the Western Front in July 1918, Sargent arrived at the location of the Guards Division near Arras, and then went with the American Expeditionary Force to the Ypres area. Having experienced the hardships of the war, Sargent moved away from the original theme of the painting and took a more balanced approach in highlighting the realities of the conflict, unfamiliar to the British inhabitants. The giant canvas was completed in March 1919 and exhibited at the Royal Academy. The picture depicts the effects of a gas attack. Several groups of wounded soldiers with eyes bandaged after gas poisoning walk along the boardwalk, accompanied by orderlies to the dressing station. Each of the soldiers, in order not to get lost, holds a hand on his shoulder in front of the walking one. They are surrounded by many weak and wounded fellow soldiers lying on the ground waiting for help. Meanwhile, everyday front-line life is in full swing: groups of biplanes are conducting an air battle, and several soldiers are playing football. Sargent's work was recognized by the Academy as a “picture of the year”, but not everyone liked it, and there are still disputes around it that do not detract, however, from the significance of the canvas as an interpretation of the theme of war. Currently, the painting is in the collection of the Imperial War Museum in Lambeth (London, UK).
