Wonderful illustrations by a great artist that were made during a year's service as a cannon driver with the French army in the Chemin-des-Dames sector and a year's service with the A.E.F. as an infantry private on special duty with "The Stars and Stripes," the official A.E.F. newspaper. Most were drawn during the French push of 1917 near Fort Malmaison and while on special permission given to him by the Grand Quartier General to draw and paint with the French army. The rest were drawn on American fronts from the Argonne to Belgium as his duties took him from one offensive to the other.
