Frontispiece: A classic piece of imagery. A soldier of the 36th Ulster Division sits in the splintered, moonlit remains of Thiepval Wood as crows wheel overhead. It is beautiful but with a slightly sinister overtone, and was commissioned to promote the ‘Northern France Railway Company’, presumably to encourage visitors or ‘pilgrims’ to visit the old battlefields. The artist was a Frenchman, Henri Grey, who was a prolific poster artist, specialising in colourful advertisements, although little is now known of him.
