“It seemed we were spending half our war years on guard duty” said Laynor, "in rain, slime, sleet, snow, whatever. You had to keep awake. I recall putting match sticks in our eyes just to keep our lids open, so we looked awake.”

Guard Duty,” a 9” x 12” watercolor  by Ghost Army artist Harold Laynor, is being offered for auction to benefit both "The Ghost Army" film project and the Laynor Foundation Museum.  It is a wartime study that became the basis for a later oil painting.
