Description
- Abstract:
- Original unsigned pencil caricature, by Arnett; winged (Air Transport?) insignia flying away from tearful or sweating soldier, standing in profile at bottom right, and toward smiling smaller soldier figure at top, holding camera.
- Notes:
- Arnett served with the 603rd Engineer Camouflage Battalion. After training in camouflage deception at Fort Meade in 1943, he became part of a special secret unit, the 23rd Headquarters Special Troops (the so-called 'Ghost Army') in January 1944. He served in Belgium, France, Holland, Luxembourg and Germany. Encouraged by his officers, he did numerous cartoons to improve the morale of his fellow soldiers.
