Polar Fleece : Charles Green, Official War Artist

Light grey / green polar fleece jacket with raised collar. It has a central zipper and two side pockets which close by zipper. The maker's name 'PALLIN' is embroidered in light brown upon the left breast, with the maker's tag sewn inside the collar at the back and a garnet instructions tag sewn into the side seam on the left inside of the jacket. Velcro patches are sewn on to the upper arms on each sleeve for the attachment of shoulder titles.

In early 2007 the Australian War Memorial appointed Charles Green and Lyndell Brown as official artists to Iraq and Afghanistan. Green and Brown are based in Melbourne and work collaboratively on the same paintings. Their work is represented in most Australian state and public collections. Their experiences as official artists travelling with the Australian Defence Forces bear some similarity to those of George Lambert ninety years previously - having to work quickly and pack up at a moment's notice when the Forces needed to move. They were attached to military bases in Kuwait, Bahrain, Iraq, and Afghanistan. Their task was to record and interpret the training, logistical, and operational activities of the Australian Defence Force (ADF) personnel they encountered.
