That is neat to see these cartoon like images! Were they through out the whole place Motts?
Here and there; there were also more refined-looking pieces of art on the walls as well.
Haa wow someone was a descent artiest. Looks like a soldiers day wasn’t to bad. I guess the artiest didn’t include the getting shoot at and dieing part lol must have been nice walking through there
So at 10:00 you kiss a wall? What sort of regiment is that?
i like the third one, hes so shocked that he has and equal measure to his stack of pancakes in coffee and has but a pen to consume such items with.

and at 12, when you are supposed to lose your mind a bit and go and pester some garden birds drinking at a birdbath with a knife and fork.
These were a great find Motts! He's sure enjoying his lunch at 12H, and looks like he was surprised by an Indian at 16H. LOL
I'm loving these images on the walls.
looks like it wasnt all that great from about 1 - 4. Your face and body disapear, and then your CO's yell at you for it!
Based on the time frame: { 6 H. 15. } the Soldier on the right looks like he might be shaving. But what does not add up is the fact the this Soldier is wearing his beret. To the best of my knowledge, a Soldier would never wear any of his military clothing while shaving ( Well maybe his Army pants or maybe not ) because he would not want to get shaving cream on his uniform, especially his beret. He would fail his morning inspection.

Wow that is really neato. It's really to bad that its rotting away in the darkness of this building. What would be truly amazing was if there was some way of finding out who this soldier was who did all these nice paintings.

Maybe Joseph would know?
Didn't anyone notice that you have to wake up looking like a clown before beginning your day? lol!
Canada: thank you for the reply.

I am sorry, but I do not have any idea who made these series of drawings.

The soldier who is eating his lunch has a frantic look on his face. He is gripping his knife and fork like there is no tomorrow. His hair is standing on end and his eyes have transformed into the eyes of a cat. He is going to tear apart that cornish hen !

One of the Army cadences goes like this:

"Eat my breakfast way too soon,

hungry as a hound dog by noon".

This drawing reminded me of that.

Oh, I thought that was a fluffy white beard in the style of 'Pappy!' from Popeye.
LOL What is this, the French Foreign Legions? "Gentlemen, your mission is to guard this fort, hidden by us, the French Foreign Legion, precariously where nobody will find it - in FRANCE! And it's painted chartreuse, so nobody will recognize it! And at the end of a day full of playing hide-and-seek in the garden and taking orders from clowns, you will be assigned on blind dates, donated to us by the local asylum."
