Although some of these remarkable records were found and confiscated, almost 50 images slipped through the net to form a highly evocative personal record of his experiences. After the war Joe completed his studies before starting a long career as a lecturer at Cleveland College of Art and Design, where he developed into a highly respected and inspirational teacher, who launched many successful art careers.
