Portrait of Reverend Edward Noel Mellish VC - The Fighting Parson
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the courageous spirit of Reverend Edward Noel Mellish, a British army chaplain during World War I. In this portrait, taken around 1916, we see a man adorned in his clerical collar and cap, exuding an air of determination and bravery. Reverend Mellish was awarded the prestigious Victoria Cross for his remarkable acts of heroism at St Eloi in Flanders. Despite facing relentless shellfire and machine-gun attacks, he fearlessly rescued ten severely wounded soldiers on the first day alone. Astonishingly, he seemed to possess an almost charmed existence amidst the chaos and danger. Undeterred by exhaustion or personal safety concerns, Reverend Mellish returned to the battlefield on the second day when his battalion was relieved. On this occasion, he brought back twelve more injured men from harm's way. His selflessness and unwavering commitment to saving lives exemplify true courage in times of war. This powerful image is featured in "The Great World War: A History" edited by Frank A Mumby. It serves as a poignant reminder not only of Reverend Mellish's extraordinary valor but also pays tribute to all those who risked their lives to protect others during this tumultuous period. Through this photograph, we catch a glimpse into history—a testament to faith, resilience, and humanity amidst unimaginable adversity.
