This is another still life study set up in the studio.  Featuring white lillies, corporal's chevron's/stripes and two postcard type photos of the East Yorkshire Regiment in training and doing a route march near Beverley.  Apparently Victoria Barracks in Beverley was one of the Training Depot for recruits going to the trenches of the First World War.

SPECIAL STILL LIFE

This still life was set up in the studio using a sand pit that I had constructed then you can see some Star Gazer Lillies. Also featured is a original issue WWII silk map and two photographs which feature the "Yelta Agreement Talks" between Rosevelt, Churchill and Stalin aboard The George V Battleship.  These items were kindly loaned to me (photographed and then returned to their original owners).
