	Piano Magic - Artists' Rifles (Rocket Girl)
		Artists' Rifles is no exception, and it continues the fascinating direction of previous releases.
		The songs on Artists' Rifles are much more sparse than the songs on their previous release, Low Birth Weight, mostly featuring a single guitar theme, intertwined with keyboards and a straightforward beat, and although lacking much of the drama of Low Birth Weight it makes up for it in its simplicity and purity.
		Artists' Rifles builds on the incredibly solid foundation of previous Piano Magic releases, and takes it even further by distilling the sound, and producing a less dramatic, but even more intimate and sensitive album than they have before.

	Wilfred Owen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		On 21st October 1915, he enlisted in the Artists' Rifles.
		Owen's poetry would eventually be more widely acclaimed than that of his mentor, which has led to the misconception that Owen was naturally the superior artist.
		While his use of pararhyme, with its heavy reliance on assonance, was both innovative and, in some of his works, quite brilliant, he was not the only poet at the time to utilise that particular technique.

		Although the Rifles didn't receive the attention of many lesser American and English bands, the releases kept coming, and they were all excellent.
		As a result, the Rifles last toured America in 1987, which is too bad, because their great live album (Kiss, Kiss, Bang, Bang), recorded at CBGB's on that tour, proves them to be a white-hot live band.
		Also, there were signs that the Rifles were nearing the end: Steedman and Morris were playing around Sydney with other musicians and producing new bands; Lovelock released a solo album (It's a Wig, Wig, Wig, World) with members of the Church; and the time between Rifles releases seemed to grow longer.

		The artist Percy Horton, to whom this watercolour belonged, was a friend and contemporary of Nash; both taught at the Ruskin School of Art, and both had a particular attachment to the East Anglian landscape.
		In 1914 he started to paint in oil and this, combined with his experience with the Artists' Rifles, led to some fine pictures when he was made an Official War Artist in 1918.
		Oppy Wood, Evening, and Over the Top: The 1st Artists' Rifles at Marcoing, both in the Imperial War Museum, are amongst the most memorable war images.

		After the sub-alter informs the viewers "We will be right back after the break", I saunter to the telephone, call the station's hot line and obliquely imply I represent the interest of the British Government and diplomatically inquire as to the credentials of the chap with The Artists' Rifles tie.
		I notice the reader is wearing The Artists' Rifles tie and I am a bit puzzled as to the circumstances that preceded this honour?

		In March 1889 there was a tremendous bash at Duke's Road, a stone's throw from St Pancras station in London, with a singular diversion in the interval, "The New Bayonet Excercise, done by a team of the Artists' RV".
		Now the Duke's Road building is to reopen in three weeks after a £7m rebuild which has peeled back its history as the former headquarters of one of the most extraordinary regiments in the British army: the Artists' Rifles, which in the late 19th century enlisted the most famous and fashionable artists.
		Captain JW Blomfield's 1921 history of the regiment, Once an Artist, Always an Artist, records the tremendous arguments about the colour and design of the uniform, among these arbiters of good taste.

	MODERN BRITISH ART - Frank Dobson biography
		After the First World War (when he was on active service with the Artists’ Rifles), he turned increasingly to sculpture, and in the 1920s and 1930s gained an outstanding reputation: in 1925 Roger Fry described his work as true sculpture and pure sculpture...
		His craftsmanship was superb and he played an important role as a liberal-minded and kind-hearted teacher at the Royal College of Art, where he was Professor of Sculpture, 1946-53.
		With the rise of a younger generation led by Henry Moore, however, Dobson’s prestige as an artist dropped and he was regarded as dated’; the memorial exhibition of his work organized by the Arts Council in 1966 was not well received.

		The photographs were mounted in large, oak frames, mimicking the way that documentary images are presented at London's Imperial War Museum, so emphasizing the fact that they could be original 'army' documents.
