History
J.M. Moyes was with the Canadian Infantry, 13th Battalion. Originally from Dundee, Scotland, he enlisted in Quebec in 1914 as a Private. His attestation papers list his occupation as an artist. Throughout the war he continued to draw and paint, including teaching his fellow soldiers to draw while waiting to return home in 1919. By the end of the war he had attained the rank of Lieutenant and continued to paint after the war, though he is best known for his depictions of the war. At least one of his paintings is at the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa, and another at the Black Watch of Canada Regimental Museum in Montreal.
