At 37 years of age Ken McFadyen became an official war artist serving with 2 RAR on their tour of duty in South Vietnam in 1968-1969.\u003cbr\u003e Lieutenant McFadyen's success as a soldier and artist was summed up by his former Commanding Officer, Brigadier Noel Charlesworth, who wrote: 'When he was dressed in uniform, stripped bare to the waist, his head shaven, he became a digger, and looked like any other soldier. But when he ventured out on patrol laden with army gear and armaments he was recognisable as an artist. His art--board would be strapped on his back and he would be carrying afew satchels of art materials'.\u003cbr\u003e 58 images of Ken McFadyen's paintings and charcoal sketches help tell the story of the day to day operations of the Australian Task Force in Vietnam.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sandra Finger Lee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0648308294\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780648308294\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Echo Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/19\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 162\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.36lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 8.50w x 0.56d","brand":"Sandra Finger Lee","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44540333457663,"sku":"9780648308294","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6df821bd-1cd5-4574-9d88-f86752e7c258.jpg?v=1700587309","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/vietnam-on-canvas-sandra-finger-lee-9780648308294","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
