EDITORS COMMENTS
This collection of thirty-four pen and ink and pencil sketches offers a unique and humorous glimpse into the daily life of a soldier stationed in France and Flanders during the First World War. The artist, Major Alfred Kingsley Lawrence, served with the Northumberland Fusiliers, specifically the 19th Battalion/2nd Tyndeside Pioneers, and was commissioned into the regiment on August 26, 1915. These sketches, which date from the period between 1893 and 1915, capture the essence of camaraderie and humor that existed among the soldiers despite the harsh realities of war. Each drawing is accompanied by hand-written remarks, asides, and quips, providing insight into the soldiers' thoughts and experiences. Major Lawrence's war pictures album is a valuable historical document, offering a personal perspective on the First World War that goes beyond the official records. The sketches depict a range of subjects, from soldiers at rest to scenes of military life, and provide a rare glimpse into the daily routines and relationships that existed among the troops. In addition to the sketches, the album also contains some additional items, adding to its historical significance. Major Lawrence's service record, which includes his commissioning date and regimental details, is also included, providing important context for the sketches. These pen and ink and pencil sketches offer a poignant reminder of the human side of war, and serve as a testament to the resilience and humor of the soldiers who served during the First World War.
