Sketchpad Warrior Back from Afstan

It’s been a while since we visited the extremely few and awfully proud, the Marine Corps Combat Artists. I recently got an update from one of them, Sgt Kris “King Of” Battles from Sketchpad Warrior, who is recently back from Afstan (sic, in Torch lingo).

Here’s one of his latest, on Echo 2/8; be sure to read the accompanying post:

(Also, don’t forget about CWO2 Mike Fay at Fire & Ice!)

    That’s my old rifle company. What I wouldn’t give to be a rifle platoon commander in Echo 2/8 right now. Hey sir, how can I get prints of Sgt Battles’ and CWO2 Fay’s work?

  2. Sir, you can email Gunner Fay or myself and request some– just tell us what you’d like, and we’ll print one off (a good color copy) and send it to you.
