“Vatican cameos” appears in The Hound of the Baskervilles in 1901. It is not a code from WWII unless troops were referring to The Hound of the Baskervilles. Otherwise, it’s a straightforward reference to ACD.
Thanks for the info!
Interesting point of reference (that is only tangentially related to the above); during WWII, the The Special Operations Executive (SOE) was sometimes referred to as “The Baker Street Irregulars”. Additional trivia; Sir Christopher Lee has been known to mention his membership in the “Baker Street Irregulars” (SOE) during the war. (For those who don’t know, Sir Christopher Lee has also played Sir Henry Baskerville, Sherlock Holmes, and Mycroft Holmes throughout his career.) And that’s my random WWII/Sherlock Holmes trivia moment.
“How to train your Sherlock Holmes” by Drs. Watson & Watson

The two together. I’ll be printing cards of them soon. I wonder if I should also do a Mrs. Hudson and/or Irene Adler…
From this scene in which Holmes tries to find that note that can kill houseflies instantly. In the end Watson just hits the fly with a newspaper and the experiment ends lol
“My dear Watson,” said the well-remembered voice. “I owe you a thousand apologies. I had no idea that you would be so affected.“
– The Adventure of the Empty House
I published the first page of this a little while back. Sorry that it’s taken me a while to get the rest of this posted!
Some of these scenes (such as Watson and Holmes before the web, or Sherlock and Joan on the rooftop) should seem a little familiar. I very deliberately tried to recreate them from all sorts of screenshots and references.
Thank you very much to everyone who has been so supportive in having me see this through.
