About
A free exhibition at the National Army Museum in Chelsea, London, showing over 50 original drawings and works on paper by the French artist Paul Sarrut. During the First World War, Sarrut served as a liaison officer and interpreter with British, French and Indian units on the Western Front, living among the soldiers he drew. His sketches capture everyday life in camps, billets and medical stations, with Indian soldiers forming the subject of his most detailed studies. Alongside the drawings are uniforms, photographs, archives and medals, including Victoria Crosses awarded to Lieutenant Frank de Pass and Sepoy Khudadad Khan.
