'Outbound', 2010

One of twelve sketches by artist Jules (Julian) George, drawn in Afghanistan in 2010.

Soldiers embarking on a Merlin helicopter, Forward Operating Base Shawqat, Nad-e-Ali, Helmand, Afghanistan.

This sketch has a blood stain finger print upper right. Jules George wrote, 'Some things, I had to learn alone, as when attempting to drawn an incoming helicopter, I had not anticipated the down draft and need to duck and was blown round a wall, tearing the pages of my sketch book and cutting my hand up badly in the process.'
