(Image size: 10cm x 20cm, 13cm x 20.5cm)
Provenance: E. A. Campbell (1879-1951)
Note: Born into a military family, E. A. Campbell was destined for a soldier's life. Captain Campbell was commissioned into the 2nd/7th Gordon Highlander in 1914 and served until 1919. But it was his fascination with the uniforms and the badges of the Regiment's that inspired his works and made him an authority on the subject. His paintings were published in the Tiger and Sphinx and his works really give us an insight into the personal element of a soldier's life. His paintings depict Officers and other ranks, illustrated here are Privates in marching order, one with grey greatcoat and bonnet cover and one without.
