Ardennes 1944

A soldier sits on the ground in front of a building and reads a book. Another soldier walks by with a rifle on his back. Both are wearing heavy coats and it appears to be winter. Another building is seen in the right background. The paper is serrated at the top edge. A soldier sits on the ground in front of a building and reads a book.

Chapman served in the U.S. Army and sketched scenes stateside, in convoy, and in England before being transferred in 1944 to the Public Relations and Historical Section of the 84th Infantry Division to produce work on the Battle of Germany. He also did cartoons for the 84th divisional newspaper and Stars & Stripes.
