Description: | 21st May 1917*
image: A study of an exhausted soldier slumped in a sitting position, his steel helmet balanced on his knee and his arms hanging loosely by his sides.
The soldier was identified by Sir James Stronge as a Sergeant Slater who was killed later in the war. In November
1918, Sir James wrote to Agnews, where the drawing had been exhibited, requesting photographs to give to the family and further information
that might be of interest to them.
