This painting I did for Trevor ‘Tonks’ Jones OC A Coy 1RAR in 1980. ‘Tonks’ was my company commander after Major Ron Merillier BCR. The painting depicts a typical RAR foot patrol of that period. The painting was presented back to me by the family after ‘Tonks’ passed away. I have cleaned it up and done a bit of preservation work on it, so it is looking brand new.
A lovely work John.
Cheers,
Pete.
