Title: Moments in time
Description: "Signwriting was Ralph Miller's 'bread and butter' but it was World War 2 that ironically gave him the time to follow his passion and develop his drawing skills. A member of the 3rd Division Army Band, he began to draw his surroundings and the people around him. His increasingly skilled drawings bring to life the story of his experiences in the Islands. After returning home to Dunedin, he continued to develop his fluid style that captured the movement of people doing everyday things, living ordinary lives"--Inside front cover.
