- Australian Notes:
- The acclaimed Australian artist Theodore Penleigh Boyd enlisted in the A.I.F. in 1915 and served on the Western Front where he was heavily gassed during action at Ypres in 1917 and invalided to England. In the period between August 1916 and September 1917, Boyd had produced a number of pen drawings at the Front with a mapping nib he had found in the dirt. Australia had no official war artist at that time working on the Western Front and so his evocative drawings captured " a period, place and situation otherwise unrecorded by Australian artists". They appeared in the publication "Salvage" in 1918 and the captions that accompany the sketches provide a deep personal insight into life at the Front.
