Gas mask Banksy?

• YOU report (April 28) about Banksy’s new “If graffiti changed anything it would be illegal” image and stated that he has produced two artworks in the borough. 

My photograph (above) shows a graffiti image which has appeared recently in Camley Street on my route to work and I was wondering if it might be a third Banksy? It might not be since it has some differences from his usual style but I am interested to hear opinions nonetheless. 

The main image is of a figure in a gas mask, while the text on the adjacent electrical box reads: Take up our quarrel with the foe; 

To you from failing hands we throw the torch; be yours to hold it high. 

If ye break faith with us who die

We shall not sleep though poppies grow in Flander’s fields.
