Notes
Eliot and his wife Mimi were in Southwold, south of England, when Eliot noticed the boot. After Eliot finished drawing it, they went back to their car where a warden came rushing towards them. Little did the Hodgkins know, that the warden was looking for "two lunatics" walking on a mine field.
Inscribed 1943-44.
