The scenes Alfred Gerada painted are full of life – fighting over potatoes; queuing for cigarettes; salvaging war destruction; praying for survival. No photography could have captured the soul of the scourge of war better than this collection of 116 watercolours, painted from real life. Paperback. Published by Midsea Books 2018
