EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative pen, ink, and pastel drawing by Cpl Albany Wiseman captures the tranquility and camaraderie of two National Service soldiers during a moment of respite by the Sweet-water Canal in Egypt, 1952. The soldiers, dressed in their uniforms, sit outside a simple hut, their backs leaning against the weathered wooden walls. The serene waters of the canal reflect the clear blue sky above, and the gentle breeze carries the scent of the desert. Cpl Wiseman, an artist during his National Service, skillfully rendered the scene with intricate details, from the soldiers' boots and rifles to the textured fabric of their uniforms. The use of pastel adds a soft, dreamlike quality to the image, capturing the essence of a moment in time. The Sweet-water Canal, located in the desert between Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire in Egypt, was an essential water source for British troops during their presence in the region. This drawing offers a glimpse into the daily life of soldiers during their service, a time of challenge and growth for many young men. The drawing, titled "Sweet-water Canal," is a poignant reminder of the human experience amidst the backdrop of military service and the vast, beautiful desert landscape of Egypt.
