Injured after three months in France, he was sent back to Britain, where the War Artists Advisory Committee saw his drawings and signed him up. It was the first outing for British war artists, starting a tradition that has continued up to today's Gulf conflicts. In his new capacity, Nash returned to the front just after the battle of Passchendaele, where the long bombardment had left a wilderness of slime and corpses.
