Description: | E. KENNINGTON. 17.
image: The interior of a bivouac showing two soldiers sitting on the floor. The space is lit by a small fire illuminating
their faces in a red glow. The figure on the right smiles out at the viewer. Another soldier reclines in the background, his features
obscured by the smoke from the fire.
The soldiers pictured in this work were serving with the Middlesex Regiment. Kennington captured this scene when he was
an Official War Artist at the Front in 1917.
This image was used by the YMCA on a series of postcards issued in 1918. These were sent to the soldiers at the front in order to decorate
the huts.
