"We Leave the Trenches," War with Spain, Pvt. Charles Johnson Post, 1936, Watercolor on paper, 21.75 x 16.5 in., U.S. Army Center of Military History -
Post was a Soldier in the 71st New York Infantry in the Spanish-American War, although he did not execute this drawing until many years later. His portrayal of bedraggled Soldiers, sick from tropical diseases, is a striking example of the challenges Soldiers face from the environment around them. |
