Nice article - there are some real stories there. My grandfather was a pretty accomplished painter - watercolours and charcoal, mostly, and when I was a kid I remember him showing me sketches he'd made during WW1. Sadly, I have no idea what happened to them, he died in 1980. My mother doesn't even remember their existence, although she has about 10 of his paintings and drawings hanging on the walls. |

Very interesting and personal glimpse into one soldier's war. |

HOLY CARP!!!

Nice work. Not surprised he became an architect. His rendering of perspective is perfect. |

Civilisation, I vaguely realized then - and subsequent observation has confirmed the view - could not progress that way. It must have a greater guiding principle to survive. To treat it as a carcase off which each man tears as much as he can for himself, is to stand convicted a brute, fit for nothing better than a jungle existence, which is a death-struggle, leading nowhither. I did not believe that was the human destiny, for Man individually was sane and reasonable, only collectively a fool. I hope the gunner of that Hun two-seater shot him clean, bullet to heart, and that his plane, on fire, fell like a meteor through the sky he loved. Since he had to end, I hope he ended so. But, oh, the waste! The loss! - Cecil Lewis | |
