Richard Fairfax Tukino Grace sketchbook

documentary heritage

The sketchbook contains sketches in pencil (both black and purple). It was signed by M. Crump [Mary] and gifted to Dick on 22/2/1915 before his embarkation. He carried it with him through his service. A passage on the last page simply states, returned 31.3.1917. The sketches show men walking along trenches lined with duckboards on the Somme, dugouts, periscopes and soldiers of various uniforms and ghost villages.
