OPERATION HERRICK
by Richard Taylor
Richard Taylor’s tribute to those who served in Afghanistan 2002 – 2014
Superseding two previous efforts in the South Asian country, Operation Herrick is the codename given to all British actions in the War in Afghanistan conducted from 2002 to the end of combat operations in 2014. This consisted of the British contribution to the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) and in support of the Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) led by American allies.
Richard Taylor’s dramatic drawing depicts a moment in time during that campaign showing RAF Chinooks of 18 Squadron deploying members of the 3rd Battalion Parachute Regiment, (3 Para), 16 Air Assault Brigade into Helmand province during Op Herrick VIII in 2008.
Widely regarded as one of the foremost pencil artists in the aviation art industry, Richard has created this inspiring drawing to add to his growing repertoire. Already internationally renowned for his stunning depictions of WW1 and WW2 scenes, he continues to span multiple eras of conflict with this stunning piece.
Completed in Richard's ‘trademark’ style of graphite, wash and coloured highlights on toned buff paper, this daring piece serves as a lasting tribute to all members of the armed forces who served during Operation Herrick and for those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
