		Whistler had a special, nearly always unsentimental rapport with children, to the extent of encouraging Sitwell's nephew Reresby (who engaged the artist Tim Morgan-Owen to select the works for the exhibition) to collaborate with him on a painting (shown here) of a haunted castle, an ideal subject to inspire an imaginative schooboy.
		Whistler was tragically killed at the age of thirty-nine in Normandy, soon after the landings in 1944, and in the last stages of his career it was military subjects that inspired him to fresh triumphs, as was seen in the exhibition 'Rex Whistler's War' at the National Army Museum, London, in 1994.
		Later, in two drawings Whistler wittily contrasts the bleak barrack-room realities of blanco, boot-polish, radio wires and battle dress with an idyllic imaginary scene of smart mess life, in which waiters like ballet dancers serve cocktails to super-elegant young officers in an exquisite mess decorated by Whistler.
