Because he had been a newsreel cameraman, he was put to work filming cinemas for the military archives.

After the War, Photographer Dickson got himself demobilized in France so he could go to Abyssinia and take pictures of lions. He also photographed war scenes among the Riffs. Then he drifted back to Paris. Armed with...
