One drawing inscribed "To 'Phil' Brady Sincerely Paul Brown" 5 signed Paul Brown 3 signed"PB" and 12 unsigned preliminary drawings. <br/>The sketch of Squadron A pennants demonstrates a visual continuity between the crossed sabers of the cavalry troop and its 1941 redesignation as the 101st Cavalry. Its members fought gallantly in Germany and Austria during WWII.<br/><br/>- Two sketches for the "Sway-backs Reunion": drawings of a cavalryman offering his horse drink from a mess kit both signed "PB".<br/><br/>- Three unsigned sketches: "Coming in for the night" a man at a gate with two horses and a foal entering; well dressed horseman in top hat with rider coming over a fence in distance; sketch of foal and two dogs at play. unknown books
