Four figures carrying a body wrapped in a red ensign RMG PU9963, William Lionel Wyllie, 1914 ?
Four figures carrying a body wrapped in a red ensign
this is not a funeral party unless a very informal one, the four bearers being informally dressed and carrying the body on a stretcher at shoulder height, loosely wrapped in a red ensign. This suggests it may be a casualty being brought ashore by seamen from a merchant ship. Date: 1914 ?. Dimensions: 282 mm x 428 mm. Collection: Fine art.
