As The End Of The Year Of The 100th Anniversary Of The
Armistice Which Ended World War I Is At Hand- Some Artists Who Served And

the horrors of World War One but I was struck by the number of artists who served
in some capacity in the militaries of their respective countries and after
surviving the onslaught produced some very provocative works which to my mind

and their psyches. What do you think?
