"Tommy" depicts a WW1 soldier wading through a field of poppies in France some time during the 1914 - 1918 Great War.

Award-winning artist, Richard Harpum, paints in a realist style, paying meticulous attention to detail.

As a youngster, he was always drawing and became a prolific painter after he received an...
