The University of Victoria has put on on their website the sketchbooks of J.M.
Very little is known about the artist other than...
+ He was a member of the Royal Horse and Royal Field Artillery (the regimental crest and motto appear at the top of the page)
+ He was based in France and Belgium (specifically around Ypres and Menin) between 1917-1918
+ His daughter's name was Adele
+ He survived the war (one of the images is dated 1920)
+ His initials were JM
Do you who he is? Either way, it's a fascinating look at WWI told through sketch paper.
