charlie962 Posted 22 August , 2018 Share Posted 22 August , 2018 Not sure which heading this should be posted under? This French artist's name doesn't come up on a forum search so I wonder if others have come across some excellent illustrations done by him. I happened to see some yesterday in a local French WW1 exhibition. Alluaud was at Limoges railway station in 1914 when the Indian troops came through and he did a number of sketches, some of which were published and sold in aid of PoW funds. I thought just to provide a sample here without infringing copyright. If you google the artist's name and the year 1914 you should find more. Wiki gives his biography.

charlie962 Posted 25 September , 2018 Author Share Posted 25 September , 2018 (edited) And I rather liked this unpublished sketch of Indian troops exercising their horses, again at Limoges Oct 1914. Presumably Sikh, with their hair in a top knot but no turban ? charlie Edited 25 September , 2018 by charlie962 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
