Incredible sketches from the battlefields of WW1 drawn by a young soldier who never spoke of his time in the trenches have been found by his family - 100 YEARS later.
The intricate drawings and caricatures were by Douglas Arthur Chambers who was just 20-years-old when he went off to fight in the Great War.
He documented his time in the army with satirical and dramatic drawings, from training in the UK to his time in the Battle of the Somme.
Douglas never spoke of his time in the war, or his drawings, but his sketch books were recently discovered by his granddaughter Sue Doyle, 62.
