Pictured: Comic drawings of life in a WW2 camp drawn by an unknown soldier have reemerged after languishing in a loft for almost 80 years.<br />
<br />
The roughly 40 illustrations are accompanied by stories about the camp's eclectic array of characters narrated by a cat called 'Little Pur'. <br />
<br />
They are included in two manuscripts made by a 'lost talent' stationed in the Middle East who died in battle. <br />

Publishers are said to be 'lining up' to snatch the previously unseen books at auction so they can be published for the first time since their creation in 1943.
