A remarkable collection of 180 cartoons drawn by a First World War army officer has been uncovered around a century after the artist fought for Britain.
The satirical artwork, attributed to John Jackson Cameron, includes scenes of characters playing golf, holidaying and taking part in various outdoor pursuits.
The astonishing albums emerged from the estate of a late English collector who would trawl bookshops and junk shops for quirky items.
It is understood this is how he came across Cameron s work, and the cartoons have now been cosigned for sale by his family with auctioneers Dominic Winter - and are expected to fetch up to £500.
