they're by leslie cole. signed down there. leslie cole. do you know much about him? not a lot.e was born in swindon, i think. 1910 and was a war artist or part of the war artists in the second world war. and a very celebrated one, too. the imperial war museum has got a lot of his work. leslie cole really is known for his war paintings. he had an incredible second world war. he went out with the royal marines to europe, i think with the d-day landings and covered that and he was in the middle east, and he was all over africa. i think he went to greece and italy. so he covered an awful lot of ground. but he isn't really considered to have done anything terribly interesting after the war. these pictures, i think, prove that wrong. we've had them for probably, 30 years or more now. and we sit and look at them during our mealtime and often discuss the subject matter and the various characters that we see in the pictures. can we try that? she's great, isn't she? how old is she? she's, what, in her early 30's, would you say? yes, yes. she's quite pretty. doesn't look happy, though. th
