Summary

Full-length portrait sketch of Art Neuer, a machine gun operator near Mt. Austen during the World War II Battle of Guadalcanal. His water bottle is noted on his left hip.
Inscribed on cover sheet: sketch made on a trail on Mt. Aestin [i.e. Mt. Austen] - note how it dwindled off to shaky lines - I believe it was after sketching head that a couple of Jap "Pistol Pete" shells whistled overhead. We ducked, as I recall, and then resumed sketching - I think my sketch is a good chart of uneasiness (the shells did not land close by).
More finished version: DRWG/US - Brodie, no. 38 (A size).
Gift, Sgt. Howard J. Brodie, 1944; (DLC/PP-1944:114).
