Caught in the act of painting!

388th Bomb Group Artist – Alva Villamor Alegre Self Portraits

We here at Portraits of War have spent countless hours scanning and editing the photographic work of Alva, but have neglected to post a series of photos relating to what he looked like while stationed at Kennishall nearly 70 years ago.  I hope you enjoy seeing the face of the man responsible for recording the everyday activities around Knettishall.

One of my favorite topics within the collection has to be the various sketches and murals strewn about the Knettishall barracks.  From the humerous to the erotic, Alva painted it all.  Enjoy!
