Description

"Don't let him get that water!"

Page two of a 4 page sequence from Blue's Story, the tale of a French Foreign Legion deserter told to Charley Bourne while both are on the run from the Military Police. Trapped in the besieged Fort Vaux, the Legionaires are desperate for water...Interesting to note the penciled colour guides from the artist; and how that instruction is ignored in the final panel!

Missing two speech balloons; those will be replaced anon.

Classic page from the great of all boy's war stories, 'Charley's War', by Pat Mills and Joe Colquhoun.
