Poperinghe Barracks is in Arborfield, Berkshire. During the Second World War, cartoonist Harry 'Nero' Blacker served as a sergeant in the Royal Artilliary and taught signwriting to servicemen before they were demobbed. His woodcuts from this period show humour, an eye for detail and a decisive use of line.
