Memories of St. Lo: An Old Man of War
“Drawings of D-Day: An Artist's Journey Through War” offers an extraordinary, one-of-a-kind testimony in words and images by a soldier and artist of the U.S. Army’s 29th Infantry Division, of one of the most famous military operations of World War II, the D-Day landing and invasion of Normandy on June 6, 1944. These are the only known drawings made that historic day, as well as the next. Drawn in pencil and pen, in a gritty, realistic style, the images show heavily burdened infantrymen trying to stay afloat in the seawater, crawling on the beach or dead among the ruins of a bombed out village. Interwoven with letters home written by a young man to his family and his girlfriend, the words and images portray the horror of war in a deep and personal way.
