	Eliot A. Cohen on Churchill & War on National Review Online
		It is perhaps wiser to remember how often judgments in war are wrong, and to assess a statesman's or a soldier's qualities by the number and importance of the situations that he evaluates correctly, rather than by those in which he errs.
		Moreover, Churchill acted as the patron of odd and eccentric agencies of war — from the cryptanalysts of Bletchley Park to the Commandos and Chindits to a small technological research establishment responsible for such inventions as the PIAT light antitank grenade thrower and the antiship limpet mine.
		Churchill's war leadership rested in part on his broad strategic vision, and in part on the effect of his probing questions and efforts to animate each of the many parts of the war effort.

	First World War.com - Who's Who - Paul Nash
		Paul Nash (1889-1946), the British landscape painter and wood engraver, was born in London on 11 May 1889, the son of a lawyer.
		During the First World War Nash enlisted in the Artists' Rifles in 1914, serving at Ypres on the Western Front.
		His stark landscapes of the Western Front created a lasting impression; his paintings continue to be displayed today as representative of the reality of war, although Nash himself complained during the war of the restrictions placed upon his work by the requirements of the War Propaganda Bureau (WPB) managed by Charles Masterman.

	C.R.W. Nevinson: the modern artist of modern war: during Nevinson's career as a war artist in 1914-18, his paintings ...
		I am firmly convinced that all artists should enlist and go to the front, no matter how little they owe England for her contempt of modern art, but to strengthen their art of physical and moral courage and a fearless desire of adventure, risk and daring.
		In Nevinson's opinion, the undaunted artist, and his continuation of the modernist experiment, stood as a national symbol of the intact and progressive condition of contemporary English culture--unthreatened by the kultur of the central powers.
		That said, Nevinson also understood that the war was still about the common man, and did not want this fact eclipsed by the marvels of modern technology, illegible modern art or a deceptive proliferation of the patriotic myth.

	War Artist Paradox (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		When Australia led the UN multinational force to enforce the election result and drive out the militia in East Timor in 1999, war artists were taken along.
		The artist captures the feeling of oppressed and frightened civilians, of Army personnel returning from duty showing the pressures of battle and so on.
		There are many emotions that the artist or anyone else present at the battle scene or who are viewing the photograph of the battle scene may feel, but the artist is capable of highlighting a particularly relevant 'feeling' by excluding the irrelevant-to-the-qualia detail.
