Notes:The following excerpt is quoted from Klepac, L., Russell Drysdale, the drawings, The Beagle Press, Sydney, 2012, p. 13: ‘The Drysdales arrived in Sydney in November 1940 and settled in to their new home, but when the Japanese submarine surfaced in Sydney Harbour and torpedoed a ship at Circular Quay, Drysdale moved his family to Albury. There he set up a studio in an old barn and discovered a new subject: soldiers. They were everywhere in the town and at the railway station, as Hume Army Camp was situated near Albury.’
