OPERATION HERRICK - Framed Collector's Piece

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’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.

Completed in his ‘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.
