Private Len Smith

Drawing Fire

The diary of a great war soldier and artist

HarperCollins ( 2009)

Smith Drawing FireThe horrors of the 1914-18 War in the trenches are brought to life with rare immediacy and power through the illustrated diary of private soldier and commercial artist Len Smith.  Living through the wholesale slaughter of soldiers on the battlefields of France, including Loos and Vimy Ridge, Len miraculously survived.  His evocative words and colour sketches, all produced at the time in the midst of the combat, form an extraordinarily intimate and important first-hand record of trench warfare.
