Background Information
The following information is from www.cartoons.ac.uk/article/giles: In 1943 Giles moved to Ipswich, where he set up a studio. A motor-cycle accident had left him blind in one eye and deaf in one ear, so he was rejected for war service, but during the war he made cartoon films for the Ministry of Information, including One Pair of Nostrils for the Ministry of Health, and, in 1944, The Grenade. His cartoons were also reproduced as posters for the Railway Executive Committee and others. In 1945 he became the Daily Express "War Correspondent Cartoonist" with the 2nd Army. Giles was best known for his Express "family", which first appeared in a published cartoon on 5 August 1945, and had enormous popular appeal.
