Paul Hogarth was a British illustrator and reportage artist known for his expressive, documentary-style drawings that brought a dynamic visual realism to literary works by authors such as Graham Greene, George Orwell, and Brendan Behan.
Sassoon's "lightly fictionalized autobiography of his early years in Kent, in which he figures as the narrator George Sherston, was an immediate success, was awarded the Hawthornden and James Tait Black memorial prizes, and was quickly accepted as a classic of its kind an elegy for a way of life which had gone for ever. He continued the story in Memoirs of an Infantry Officer (1930) and Sherston's Progress (1937)" (ODNB).
