Description
A soldier wearing glasses rides an emaciated horse. The soldier is playing three trumpets. Two drums attached to the horse are played by drumsticks attached to each of the soldiers feet and two of the horse's legs. A gramaphone is playing whilst resting upon the horse's neck. They are moving past a farm, a man and woman watch the procession from behind a wall while a young boy follows and a dog runs alongside the horse. The horse pull two shovels attached to one of his back hooves, and he has no tail, only bells hanging from a stump. The horse and rider move towards a sign pointing 'TO FOVANT'.
This drawing is attributed to Louis Vasco - the artist's given name was Vasco Loureiro but he enlisted as Louis Vasco and has signed his name 'Vasco', 'Spr Vasco'.
