About

More than 50 drawings and works on paper by the French artist Paul Sarrut, who served as an interpreter on the Western Front and lived among the British, French and Indian soldiers he sketched in camps, billets and medical stations. Indian troops are at the heart of the first UK show devoted to his work, many of the pieces unseen in public for over a century. Uniforms, photographs and medals sit alongside, including the Victoria Crosses of Frank de Pass and Khudadad Khan.
