Description | Amusement by the Meuse by H. L. Oakley |
Details |
Some scenes showing troops billeted in the valley of the Meuse after the signing of the Armistice spending their leisure time on round of golf, sledging, a cross-country run on horseback or at a dance. The tall figure in the centre of the top picture and at the front on a sledge is General Lambert, GOC of the 32nd Division. Captain H. L. Oakley, the silhouette artist, was Lambert's ADC and so these silhouettes are cut from first hand experience.
