"In May 1941, Gross was commissioned again as an Official War Artist and visited Dover Castle for ten days. The South Coast was heavily defended with two guns named 'Winnie' and 'Pooh' at Dover hidden under camouflage and various Bren gun outposts dotted along the cliffs. This etching is directly taken from Gross' drawing 'Life in the Front Line, Dover' (LD 1094 - Brighton Art Gallery)" image: a group of British soldiers relax by fishing from the harbour wall at Dover, a small lighthouse immediately behind them. In the foreground, one man bends down to unhook a large fish he has just caught, the fish lying amongst an assortment of large fish he has already caught. In the background, buildings and the white cliffs of Dover are visible.
