Canadian War Artist Sanely Paints While Scarred by Battle
William H. McLaughlin, a Winnipeg painter and veteran of the 12th Manitoba Dragoons, created a simple pastel scene of houses and a sunlit church spire at Toronto’s Christie Street hospital Red Cross canteen. After a shell strike in France at Falaise two years earlier, he lost sight in his right eye and much of his right hand, yet endures a year of skin grafts with cheerful resolve and says he is lucky to be left handed. He uses painting as a long dreamed-of outlet and a form of courage amid his injuries.
