Wartime courtship by George Ranstead
A young subaltern and his sweetheart flirt with each other across a table. She asks him when he first fell in love with her to which he replies, When you left your bag at home and powdered your nose with Turkish Delight'. Ranstead was one of many soldiers of WWI who took up drawing as a hobby. His subjects range from wartime humour to pictures of pretty girls and are clearly influenced by images in the illustrated magazines of the period
