Second Lieutenant R. L. W.: Military Portrait
A young officer in a peaked cap and belted tunic stands with one hand at his sword. A thin rectangular border contains the softly fading portrait. The caption identifies Second Lieutenant R. L. W. at the opening of A Subaltern in Spirit Land. The initials remain as printed; the image supplies a personal and military point of entry to the book’s spiritualist narrative.
