Watch it he's got a stick
Description
A small worm carrying a stick moving towards a mass of various large and ghoulish creatures that each hold a weapon. These weapons include guns, canons, grenades and even a baseball bat with a nail in it, and they are all aimed towards the worm. The caption at the bottom of the drawing reads 'Watch it he's got a stick!' The drawings relate to the artist's service in 7th Battalion Royal Australian Regiment and subsequent tour of Vietnam from 8 April 1967 - 15 August 1967.
