A Canadian rifleman in the summer of ’44

Convinced he’s doing the right thing, well equipped, and with years of training, this soldier has everything he needs – but one thing: the unreal experience of battle. By the autumn he will have it in spades. This image of an untested private in 4th Canadian Armoured Division (now 4th Canadian Division, headquarters in Toronto) is by the new military illustrator Greg Legge. His work is featured on p.12.
