General Notes

Note

There are a total of 25 different drawings/paintings of soldiers and one drawing of Wilt's dogtag which is the signature. These were not grouped by the artist. The larger grouping was assembled for the retrospective exhibit in Chelsea MI which was put together by the artist's widow, Ellen Bonar Wilt. The signature was an aside to that grouping. the smaller grouping was assembled by the Ken Kutzel for the SDHS using the remaining images.
