From Norfolk To Normandy: the wartime art of Captain Julian Cory-Wright RA

Extraordinary sketches and paintings made by a young artillery officer killed during the Second World War are published for the first time in From Norfolk to Normandy. Julian Cory-Wright, who died just two months short of his 28th birthday, was a gifted artist, recording people and places encountered from his schooldays through office and military life. This book helps chart his journey from the unspoilt coast of north-west Norfolk where he spent much of his youth to the more hostile shoreline of northern France. His remarkable portfolio of paintings, drawings and prints depicts soldiers training and at rest, as well as scenes on board the liberty ship Fort Biloxi bound for Normandy. Family correspondence reproduced in the book paints a moving picture of a lost talent. 240x170mm. 160pp
