This gallery is composed of scans from one of EA’s sketchbooks he had with him in North Africa. Most of his remaining war artist work is now in the Imperial War Museum. This notebook and a few interesting sketches are still with the family. The Ashmolean Museum in Oxford has most of his sketchbooks.
