E.J. HUGHES: Canadian War Artist

The narrative begins with Hughes's cadet days with the Seaforth Highlanders in Vancouver, followed by his enlistment at the Work Point Barracks in Esquimalt in 1939. His paintings of camp life and convoys reflect his keen attention to the details of vehicles, artillery, and uniforms. Hughes was Canada's first, last, and longest-serving War Artist of WWII. Fully illustrated, some in color.
