Roger Chapman (at right) illustrates his travel books with his own drawings. He met David Chandler at RMA Sandhurst when he was an infantry instructor between 1965-1968. Chapman started drawing caricatures when he accompanied military historians on WWI battlefield tours of France in 1966.
As a friend, he has been drawing Chandler ever since--which is a mark of friendship if not his sense of humor.
