Roger, I think I told you us Cunninghams get everywhere. Different spellings but same family.

Like us Newsome's. Newsom's, Newsham's, Neesham's.

On the subject of Newsome's.....

• The charge of the right wing of HM 16th Lancers is said to have been led by a Sergeant Newsome, who shouted out “Hullo boys, here goes for death or a commission.” He leapt his horse over the kneeling front rank of Sikh infantry and went to grab a Sikh colour. He was killed by 19 bayonet wounds. It is reported that the squadron managed to break into the square because Newsome’s horse was so fiery and ill-trained that it went straight through the infantry. Peacetime cavalry training had horses breaking around an infantry square which made it difficult to persuade them to do otherwise in a real battle.

And coincidentally two of my cousins served in 16th/5th Lancers.

Thanks Andrew, after I'd posted Menzel (again) I thought why didn't I do a search first or look at the list.

That last one of the sailors is a good lesson in painting white and effects of light.

I have just received an email from The Naval & Military Press offering this book for sale.

Having never heard of him I did a bit of searching, this is just a small example of some beautiful caricatures.

What about this for a subject for Ellie's Miniatures, Ian?

John Everett Millais.

One of my favourite paintings, and I thought I had posyed it already about page three.
It is Lady Lever Art Gallery N.W.England on the Wirral.

A lovely choice.
The satin and silk is amazing close to.
