Alan Morgan was an officer in 104 (Essex Yeomanry) Regiment Royal Horse Artillery serving in the Western Desert, Syria and Italy from 1942 to 1946. As a solder's life consisted of periods of high drama interspersed with spans of rest and recuperation, his drawing and painting materials, carried in an ammunition box, were important to him. He drew and painted many portraits of fellow soldiers of which a few still exist. Some were drawn on air mail letter paper and sent home by the subjects.
