Martin Wade is an artist who connects us to our own journey by bringing to life the power of art to heal, express love and remind us that what it is to be human is all around us.
Martin's own journey to art was unexpected. He served as a lawyer in the British Army for fifteen years, rising to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel, with operations in Northern Ireland, Kosovo, Bosnia and finally, Afghanistan. His tour of Afghanistan resulted in a diagnosis of Complex PTSD in 2010 and subsequent medical discharge.
During his admission to a series of psychiatric hospitals, Martin discovered his talent for painting as part of his treatment. He continues to paint today, selling his original works and limited edition prints worldwide.
“His abstract works explore emotions, adversity and a survivor's instinct to recover against all the odds. The emphasis of his art is not one of gloom brought about by trauma and the hidden wounds of war but one of optimism, compassion and faith in common humanity.”
Martin Wade, Artist
War Flag is a Limited Edition Giclee print by the artist Martin Wade, and it is his reflection on the legacy of war and the sacrifice and enduring physical and mental injuries and wounds of war for Servicemen and Servicewomen and for those that lost a loved one or care for a wounded veteran.
Whilst this is a personal reflection on the legacy of war it is also a celebration and acknowledgement of the humanity found in all those British people who in their own unique ways ardently support military charities. It is therefore symbolic of our shared identity.
From the purchase price, £50 of the profits from the sale of each print will go towards the Supporting Wounded Veterans charity.

The right fit is essential for both comfort and style. A well-fitting flat cap should feel secure without being tight, sit correctly on your head, and complement your face shape.
A flat cap is a rounded, soft-crowned hat with a short, stiff brim at the front. First appearing in Northern England in the 14th century, flat caps became embedded in British and Irish life after a 1571 law encouraged their wear among men of the working classes. By the late 19th and early 20th century, they were worn by everyone from labourers and farmers to gentlemen at leisure. Today, the flat cap retains its heritage charm while being embraced as a versatile style in both town and country.
A flat cap is one of the most versatile hats you can own. Whether you are dressing for a weekend walk, a day in the city, or a smart country wedding, the flat cap adds effortless polish while remaining comfortable and practical. Here is everything you need to know about wearing one with confidence.
Flat caps are designed to last for years, but proper care is key to maintaining their shape, colour, and quality. Different materials -wool, tweed, linen, leather - require slightly different cleaning approaches.
Flat caps are travel-friendly by design, but a little care goes a long way in keeping them looking sharp - whether you are storing them at home or packing them for a trip.
Getting the right size is the key to a perfect fit. Here’s how to measure your head accurately and choose the right flat cap size.
