The Martian Invasion of Surrey-Chapter 2: The Artillery Man's Story

The Army destroyed; Woking and Horsell in flames. Tripods on the rampage. An Artillery Man has a lucky escape and describes his experiences. This is the second chapter in my ongoing project to animate H G Wells&book "The War of the Worlds". In 1906 the French translation of "War of the Worlds" was published with illustrations by a Brazilian artist, Henrique Alvim Corrêa and this CGI animated film based upon Wells’ novel draws heavily upon Correa’s images. The "Woking History and Heritage" website: provides a detailed description of the Woking area and explains how Wells used actual locations in which to stage his Martian invasion. I have used these locations in the film with specific references to road names and buildings which were there in Wells&neighbourhood in Woking. For example, the Narrator&house (which is not where Wells lived) has been identified as "Pooks Hill", at the top of Maybury Hill. I have constructed "Pooks Hill" as I think it may have looked in Victorian times....
