  Large format hardcover with dust jacket, published 1975.  On active service South African troops in World War 2 were accompanied by war artists and official photographers. The results can be seen in profusion in war museums and war histories. But in captivity there were no such facilities. The high drama in the Bag went unillustrated, or nearly so. That is what makes Peter Ogilvie's drawings sensational and significant. Taken prisoner at Sidi Rezegh and help captive until the escape from the Germans two months before VE, he kept a diary throughout. In it he drew the pictures in this book. They thus cover the whole span of South African captivity in North Africa and Europe, and have the special value of having been drawn in the spot and at the time. 101 pages. Pencil sketches throughout. ex library book in good condition, tags removed. Tracked postage is R70.00
