The text is drawn from the artist's own writings; with an introduction by Hugh Halliday, Curator at the Canadian War Museum; a foreword by Moncrieff Williamson; an essay by Graham Metson and selections from interviews with the artist"--from dust jacket.
'In a certain sense I was writing letters home for these people, depicting their lives, the dugouts, tanks, where they lived. I was making a kind of record. The day-to-day reports and diaries of Alex Colville illuminate the role of the war artist in the field. In the midst of this theatre of destruction the artist, seemingly incongruous, had to work at his craft to contribute to official records.
