10 years after he created Flash Gordon, Alex Raymond decided to volunteer for the US Marines in 1944.
He trained in Virginia then was posted on an aircraft carrier as a combat artist. He left San Diego for Hawaii, then Okinawa, Borneo, & finally Leyte. He drew the entire time:

"Every work of #art is the child of its age and, in many cases, the mother of our emotions. It follows that each period of culture produces an art of its own which can never be repeated." 🎨 Russian artist #WassilyKandinsky passed away #onthisday 13 December 1944. #Painting

@GrimArtGroup @MurrMarie I really Polish exile Josef Herman. He worked just up the valley in Ystradgynlais from 1944. His paintings of miners & the village, where my grandmother was from, are very special. The huge Miners mural was displayed at the Festival of Britain in 1951.
