WW2 sketches
This set of sketches consisting mostly of warships at Portsmouth Harbour is noticeably more detailed than the others. Dad was concerned that accuracy was of great importance and by the end of the War he was feeling the strain of working to such a high standard. However he was gratified when crew members approved his work and couldn't find any mistakes except one missing hatch-cover.
