225th from a limited edition of 250 copies. Signed by Paul Sarrut.

By drawings in India ink or in graphite, wash or watercolour, Paul Sarrut (1882-1969) illustrates the violence of the fighting by representing a landscape sometimes devastated, like the cities located on the front and the back-front, victims of numerous bombings.

The artist does a real job as an ethnologist: he attaches importance to the treatment of the headdresses, uniforms and equipment that Indian soldiers wore, details that helped to identify the origins of each of them.

With great delicacy, he also depicts scenes of rest in the back of the forehead and reveals the Indian customs. Remarkable iconographic sources, these drawings reveal moreover the organization of the cantonments or the care and the training before the combat in the trenches.
