About this work
Charcoal and watercolor on paper. Village street scene in Reherry, France. The structure dominating the scene is the village church. The artist wrote of this piece "The villages in which our men seek rest from the trenches are by no means devoid of beauty. They offer many views that are untouched by the presence of war, and if it were not for the inevitable khaki, army mules and motor trucks and an occasional visit overhead from scouting aeroplanes it would be hard to believe that only a few miles away the Big Fight was in constant progress."
