The George Cross is the second highest award of the United Kingdom honours system. It is awarded for gallantry not "in the presence of the enemy" to both members of the British armed forces and to British civilians. Posthumous awards have always been available. It was previously awarded to Commonwealth countries, most of which have established their own honours systems and no longer recommend British honours. It may be awarded to a person of any military rank in any service and to civilians including police, emergency services and merchant seamen. Many of the awards have been personally presented by the British monarch to recipients and in the case of posthumous awards to next of kin. These investitures are usually held at Buckingham Palace.[1]
WWI era patriotic poster. Lady Liberty, by Brimaldi. antique art prints, patriotic art prints, antique war posters, 8x10" premium poster Colors will vary due to your monitor settings Free ship US You frame it! NOTE: Our prints are taken from an antique/vintage paintings, greeting cards, post cards etc.. Much of the time, these were originally printed on a soft and porous paper, which softened the images. They didn't have the technology back then to photo-shop and fix these images. That is why I chose to reproduce only antique art in it's original content (no photo-shop). I love the old school art. These are also paintings and drawings, and so the styles vary. The papers we use today, have special coatings so that they attract the inks or dyes well, and stop much of the seeping of the inks. Our new technologies print exactly what is on the scan of the original image. If you purchase canvas, it is made of cotton, and even though it also has this special coating, it is textured, and softens the look of the final result. It is archival, and of the highest quality, but is best for paintings since they were mostly created on artist canvas. It is important to note that if you are buying on your phone or tablet, the images you see are only tiny thumbnails, and so you can't really see the detail in the scan on the listing. If you can look on a computer, you can then see the depth and detail of the image you want. Artwork is not created equal, and sometimes there are clear and distinct lines, and other times the style is less detailed. Lastly, Colors will vary slightly, due to the difference in your monitor settings. Please zoom in on the image to see the detail. !f you are looking for an art print with lots of detail, you must chose one that shows it. Please zoom in on the listing to see the detail. These are prints, taken from original paintings and prints. All art is not created equal. The piece you choose will reflect the work of the artist. We are printers, and our sophisticated equipment enlarges each scan, pixel x pixel. We do not skew or stretch the art to fit the frame. We do not photoshop. The print you receive is the one shown on the listing, only larger. Cotton canvas is textured in little squares, and shows in the print. I have had complaints about this, as some buyers think the art is pixelated. This is not the case. If you do not want the soft look of canvas, please choose a satin canvas or poster paper. Please DO ask questions before you buy. Our prints are designed to fit into a standard frame, and do not come mounted on board. This art print was taken from a vintage painting, print, postcard or digital source. Your print will be an exact copy. Please see the scan in the listing, and zoom in. It is in the public domain in the US because the copyrights (if any) have expired. All quoted shipping costs are USA only. I will ship to your country, via first class intl. USPS, but please contact me for a quote before you buy. All art prints are custom designed to fit into a standard, modern frame. The openings on these frames are smaller than the listed size. Your print will be slightly larger than the opening. You can carefully trim it to fit your frame, and pop it in, with or without a mat. Each print is made as it is ordered. Please convo me if you need a specific size. We use real cotton artist's canvas, and the newest technology to enlarge the images pixel x pixel. There is no stretching or skewing, Cotton canvas is textured in tiny squares, and produces a soft finish like a painting. Since it is fabric, it grabs the color for an extraordinary presentation. I use archival canvas, and special dyes to print each image. They will last 100 years under normal circumstances. Your monitor settings will vary from mine, so colors may look different to you than they really are. Color match technology produces exact colors to the image file used. NO stretching or mounting is needed. No need for expensive, custom framing. I use special, secure packing materials, to insure that your item arrives safely. I don't have any control over postal delivery, but will do my best to help track your package. Please do not leave unfavorable feedback due to postal errors. I have been collecting and selling art prints for many years. I may have just what you are searching for. Just ask, and I will create a special listing, just for you. Thank you for your interest.

On 14 September, four weeks after he had left Phillipsburg on 18 August, Washington had entered Williamsburg to the acclaim of some 2,000 Continental Army forces and an equal number of Virginia militia under the marquis de Lafayette and that of about 3,000 French forces under the marquis de St. Simon, arrived from the West Indies on the fleet of Admiral de Grasse on 29 August. An allied force of around 9,000 American and 8,500 French troops had assembled in Williamsburg by 26 September, and though they were still waiting for the siege artillery to be debarked - most of the American gun carriages sat marooned on the sloop Nancy on a sandbank in the James River – set out for Yorktown on 28 September. Until "the 6th. of October”, Washington recorded on 30 September, “nothing occurred of Importance -- much deligence was used in debarking, & transporting the Stores--Cannon &ca. from Trebells Landing.” It was 2 October already before the first of the 60 pieces of Colonel John Lamb’s 2d Continental Artillery arrived outsideYorktown. On 6 October, the oxen of the recently arrived American wagon train began to pull the first guns of the siege artillery into their emplacements. Finally, in late afternoon of 9 October, a windy day with overcast skies and temperatures in the mid-50s and with French guns on the left of the siege line already firing, the Continental standard was hoisted over the Grand American Battery on the far right of the trenches closest to the York River. In his usual terse language Washington told of the momentous event which would soon force the surrender of Lord Cornwallis. At “5 oclock an American battery of Six 18s & 24s […] began to play from the extremity of our right.” An anonymous soldier from Pennsylvania recorded that “American & French flags twisted on our batteries” as “his Excellency General Washington,” in the words of James Thacher of the Light Infantry, "put the match to the first gun.” Under the watchful eyes of Generals Henry Knox, the marquis de Lafayette and Baron Steuben and accompanied by the cheers of his military family and of Continental troops, Washington had put the wick to the touch-hole of an 18- pounder whose discharge gave the signal for “a furious discharge of cannon and mortars” as Thacher reported gleefully. “Earl Cornwallis has received his first salutation.” With “good effect” as Washington commented as well since it “compelled the Enemy to withdraw from their ambrazures the Pieces which had previously kept up a constant firing.” Not even 24 hours later, most of Cornwallis’ 244 pieces had been silenced but the allied artillery barrage from 155 pieces, incl. 18 howitzers and 30 mortars, continued almost unabated for the next eleven days. Private John Hudson, a 13-year-old serving in Capt. Thomas Machin’s artillery company, remembered in old age that “between the flashes from the guns and from the fuses of the shells, it was rendered light enough for us to attend to all necessary work during any portion of night.” Thacher recollected mortar shells crossing the lines “like fiery meteors with blazing tails, most beautifully brilliant”. Private Georg Daniel Flohr of the Royal Deux-Ponts Regiment recalled that “The firing did not cease any more, neither day nor night” and like “everyone thought Judgment Day was here”. With allied artillery pounding his defenses, it was about to arrive for Lord Cornwallis. During the roughly 195 hours of artillery fire between 3:00 p.m. on 9 October and late afternoon of 17 October when Cornwallis agreed to a cease-fire on Washington’s terms, allied batteries fired almost 15,500 shells of all calibers into Yorktown, some 80 rounds per hour. Two days later defeated Crown forces laid down their arms. The artillery had won its work. The miracle no-one had dared to hope for during the dark January days atMorristown had been achieved.
