Talk:A Battery Shelled

I do not wish to rewrite this article, but I would point out that the three figures that are described as 'officers' are not officers at all. They are 'men'. There is an officer in the painting: a small figure directing the party carrying a wounded man towards a dugout. The misreading of the larger figures as 'officers' has dogged this painting for years, and led to its being taken as an expression of aristocratism. In truth it is nothing of the kind. See P. Edwards, Wyndham Lewis: Art and War (London: Lund Humphries, 1992), p. 41. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:23C5:EE05:8501:B8B1:DC7F:4D99:D84D (talk) 14:57, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
