BEHIND THE WIRE - cont^d. Germany in front of the Russian advance. Those that survived were eventually liberated and in 1945, Buckham returned to Canada to resume his career as an illustrator and artist. His drawings of Canada's countryside and cityscapes graced the pages of the Globe and Mail for many years. His art was inspired by nature and local land- scapes as well as frequent travels to Mexico and France. Many of Buckham's original war drawings are now included in the collections of the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa. The exhibition includes Buckham's original diary and journal together with illustrations and art he produced after the war.
