Another Christmas in this hellhole of a war. The motorcar bounced in and out of holes
on a rural dirt road near Soissons, France. Major Peter Winslow gripped the steering
wheel as he made his way to the Vauxbuin Field Hospital nearby. It was snowing —
again. Back home in Canada, he enjoyed snowshoeing, skiing and ice skating. But here,
in the context of the war, snow was more an annoyance than anything.
Peter had joined the 38th Battalion of the Canadian Expeditionary Forces in Ottawa
the summer of last year when he had turned 22. At that time, he had already achieved two
post-secondary degrees from McGill University, one in French Literature and one in
German Literature. He had even developed an affinity for writing sonnets, in English,
though.
He remembered how exuberant he was to fight in the war overseas, especially when
his older brother, John, had joined the same battalion months previous.
Cheeky. Pompous. Overconfident. He and his fellow Canadian, Australian and
British soldiers had no idea what war entailed. And this war was worse than other wars if
one considered the modern weapons of gas and airplanes.

Outro Natal neste buraco infernal de guerra.
O carro sacolejava ao passar pelos buracos numa estrada de terra próxima de Soissons, França. Major Peter Winslow agarrou o volante, enquanto fazia o trajeto para o hospital de campanha em Vauxbuin nas proximidades.
Estava nevando — de novo. Em casa no Canadá, ele gostava de andar com raquetes de neve nos pés, esquiar e patinar no gelo. Contudo ali, no contexto da guerra, a neve era mais irritante do que qualquer outra coisa.
Peter se alistou no 38º Batalhão das Forças Expedicionárias em Ottawa no verão do ano anterior, quando completou 22 anos. Naquela época, ele já havia conquistado dois diplomas na Universidade de McGill, um em Literatura Francesa e o outro em Literatura Alemã. Ele até desenvolveu uma afinidade em escrever sonetos — em inglês, claro.
Ele se recordava de como estava entusiasmado em lutar na guerra do outro lado do oceano, principalmente quando seu irmão mais velho, John, juntou-se ao mesmo batalhão meses antes.
Atrevido. Pomposo. Presunçoso. Ele e seus compatriotas canadenses, australianos e britânicos não tinham ideia do que a guerra exigia. E esta guerra era a pior do que as outras guerras, se considerando as armas modernas de gás e aviões.

Source text - English The Mystery of the British Landscape Master
By SOUREN MELIKIAN
NEW YORK — The case of the minor 18th-century portraitist who became the first major English landscape painter and revolutionized the approach of European masters to nature is one of those mysteries at the heart of art history that may never be explained.
A small, tight-knit exhibition at Richard L. Feigen & Co. turns the spotlight on the story of Richard Wilson for the first time in the United States. “Richard Wilson and the British Arcadia” runs through June 25.
As in unresolved police investigations, we miss elements that may have been crucial in the story of the evolution of a Briton born sometime around 1713 in the Welsh town of Penegoes. Little is known about the youth of the artist, whose birthdate is undiscovered.

NOVA YORK — O caso do retratista secundário do século 18, que se tornou o maior pintor paisagista britânico e revolucionou a abordagem dos artistas europeus quanto à natureza, é um destes grandes mistérios da história da arte que talvez nunca será explicado.
Uma pequena e privada exibição familiar em Richard L. Feigen & Co. colocou os holofotes sobre Richard Wilson pela primeira vez nos Estados Unidos. “Richard Wilson e a Arcádia Britânica” está em exibição até 25 de Junho.
Assim como nos casos sem solução da polícia, há elementos faltantes que talvez sejam cruciais na história do britânico nascido em algum momento de 1713, na cidade galesa de Penegoes. Pouca se sabe sobre a juventude do artista, no qual a data de seu nascimento é desconhecida.
