A Brave Soldier

(4) 1-3 World War I has begun, and Canadian Frank's friend convinces him to enlist--"It'll be easy and we'll be home by Christmas." The narrative describing Frank's war experience reads like a dispassionate series of observations, so Frank never comes alive as a character. Conversely, Debon's brooding acrylics infuse the tale with genuine emotion.
