Walter Jack Duncan

His family included a number of prominent actors, and upon graduation from high school, he -- along with a writer-artist friend, Robert Cortes Holliday -- moved to New York city to study at the Art Students' League under the prominent landscape artist John H. Twachtman.

He also spent time in the backwoods of Kentucky drawing the descendants of Daniel Boone in their natural habitat.

Like William James Aylward's, much of Duncan's wartime effort focused on the support activities of the AEF.

[1] He traveled from the ports to the battlefield producing detailed works that recorded some of the less glamorous but essential aspects of modern warfare.

After the war he illustrated a number of Christopher Morley's books, including Plum Pudding and Pipefuls.
