Portrait of an unknown man, 1945

Sketch in blanco, signed and dated lower right, by Wilfrid J Myers, 7 July 1945.

One of a group of sketches drawn by Private Myers whilst on active service with the Royal Berkshire Regiment (Princess Charlotte of Wales's), with Wingate's Chindits in Burma. Private Myers' sketches provide a visual diary of his military service. He drew with whatever materials he could find, even with blanco, used to clean and colour webbing equipment.
