Exactly one year earlier the WAAC was formed as the women’s unit of the British Army. In the final sixteen months of the First World War some 57 000 women served.

Here are some sketchbook pages I did this summer. Mainly in the french northern countryside and a bit in Paris as well. Thank you very much for the feedback I received on the previous post. Hope you’ll appreciate this one ! これは、僕の夏のスケッチ。フランスの北部の田舎で描きました。パリでも描きました。
