Notes
While initially joining the South African forces as a member of the Camouflage Unit in 1939, Bawcombe spent the last years of World War II as an Official War Artist in Italy and the Middle East. His steady hand, trained in the decorating and film industries in Britain, made for particularly fine, emotive reportage.
