Getting Used to Army Boots: Recruits in Training, Winchester (Winter 1939) by Eric Dawson This evocative watercolour and pen and ink drawing by Eric Dawson captures the essence of the early stages of army training during the winter of 1939 in Winchester, England. The scene portrays a group of recruits in shorts and t-shirts, determinedly running down a cobbled street towards an archway, possibly that of the Westgate near the barracks of the Kings Royal Rifles Rifle Depot. Their faces are a mix of concentration and exertion, as they adjust to the unfamiliar weight and discomfort of their new army boots. Two of the men have tripped over, adding a sense of realism and camaraderie to the image. In the background, a civilian woman carries two baskets, seemingly oblivious to the military activity unfolding around her. The use of muted colours and intricate detailing in the drawing accentuates the raw energy and grit of the recruits' training experience. Eric Dawson, an accomplished artist, served in North Africa, Syria, Palestine, and the Lebanon from 1940 to 1945 with the 2nd Bn Rifle Brigade, Royal Engineers, and the Army Educational Corps. This drawing is associated with the early days of World War Two and the North African campaign. The date of creation is circa 1939. This unframed watercolour and pen and ink drawing offers a unique glimpse into the challenges and camaraderie of army training during wartime. It is an invaluable historical record and a testament to the resilience and determination of those who served in the armed forces during this pivotal period in history.
