Excerpt from The Naval Front
A few words of introduction about the two brothers who produced this book may be of interest.
The elder, Lieut. Donald Maxwell, was well-known. before the War as a naval artist on the staff of The Graphic. During the War he served in the R.N.V.R. on a North Sea Patrol and later with the Sheerness Naval Forces in command of H.M.M.L. 139. In 1918 he was appointed Admiralty Official Artist, and went out to Mesopotamia and Palestine to do pictures for the Imperial War Museum, which resulted in the making of a good many of the sketches in this book, and also in two other books of which he is both author and artist - The Last Crusade and A Dweller in Mesopotamia. In pre-war days he was a keen yachtsman and traveller, as he has shown in his books The Log of the Griffin, A Cruise across Europe, and Adventures with a Sketch-Book.
