Courtney Charles Allen (1896 - 1969) American
Courtney Charles Allen (1896 - 1969) oil on canvas, Signed, Measures (28 x 28 inches ) w/frame (30 x 30 inches ) When the US entered World War I in 1917, he was working as an artist for the Wilmington Star and the Washington Times. He joined the US Army and served in France as a camouflage artist. A front-page article in the Washington Times in 1919 states that 37 officers and 445 camouflage artists have returned to Washington barracks after ten months of overseas service. The article states that among the returning camoufleurs was Sergeant Courtney C. Allen, â€Å“former artist for The Times, ” as well as five other artists from Washington DC, including Captain E.R. Keane, Private David Rubin, Private James Allen, Private George Park, and Private James Oâ€â„¢Shea. Four of the five were pictured in a group photograph in the same article, titled â€Å“Four Washington â€ËœCamoufleurs, â€â„¢ Just Back.”
