The Concert in the Desert, 1942 circa (w/c over pencil)

Image description: The Concert in the Desert, 1942 circa. Watercolour over pencil by Eric Dawson, World War Two, North Africa, 1942 circa. Entertainment was organised to break up the monotony of desert life: Christmas concerts and theatricals provided entertainment, and also kept soldiers occupied as they learned new roles or acclimatized to North Africa conditions. Eric Dawson served in North Africa, Syria, Palestine and the Lebanon with 2nd Battalion Rifle Brigade, Royal Engineers and the Army Educational Corps.
