(*Above: Vimy Ridge - One of hundreds of stunning and personal sketches and notes)"The Pictures And Diary Of A Wartime Artist" is a phenomenal insight into the First World War by war artist Len Smith... A diary packed with more than 360 illustrations - many of them watercolors and sketches that had only previously been seen by his immediate family.
For someone like me whose grandad was in the Battle of the Somme and who has taken something of an interest in WW1 for that reason, it's quite something to see such a personal record laid bare, and adds so much to comprehending and visualising the human side.
It's beautifully rendered and delivered in a Flash-based online format and costs under a tenner.
