Burial Ground Guards Around a Fire
Burial Ground Guards Around a Fire
Mitchell Jamieson
Accession Number: 88-193-HX
Original work: Watercolor
Original size: 13.75 by 22 inches

It was a cold, drizzly morning and at the cemetery above the beach a little group huddled around a fire. One of the men carries a long stick for measuring the depth of the graves, the others acted as guards for German prisoner of war grave-diggers, who form a dreary frieze in the background of this scene. On such a day the men found a little comfort in companionship and the tiny warmth of the fire. Then too, the smell of wood smoke was better than that other smell. Just beyond the group around the fire are some dead in their mattress cover shrouds, awaiting burial.
