Old Uncle Albert - Remembrance.
It's a hundred years since the end of World War 1. This brings to mind my Uncle Albert. He as a veteran of WW1, he took part in major battles, including Ypres. I was 14 the last time I saw him. A kindly man with a bright grin, and tall stories about a rat they'd named Kaiser Bill and kept as a pet in the trenches. Only later did I realize he was a casualty of that horrible war. His cheerful, almost childlike, behavior (which was why we liked him) was the result of a form of shell-shock.
About the Artist
Lewis Cooper
Self taught. Love drawing. Like to make pictures up, without using reference pics, often in cartoon style. I do other pictures where I do use reference. I'm knocking on a bit, born in 1940 in Greenwich, London. Retired, and loving it.
