British Royal Navy Long Service & Good Conduct Medal and Navy General Service Medal with Palestine 36-39 Bar plus 1939-45 Star, Africa Star and War Medal. The LS&GC correctly named KX 74469 JW Hamilton SPO HMS Pembroke and the GSM correctly named K67158 JW Hamilton A/L STO RN. According to his ADM 363 he joined up in 1926 for 12 years. In 1938, he transferred to the RFR to be recalled to the RN at the outbreak of war but remains on the RFR lists. He is put forward for the RN LS&GC in 1942 but is turned down because he is still on RFR strength. The RFR LS&GC is granted in 1944. Then in March 1945 he signs up again full time with the Royal Navy and is issued with a new number, to complete time for his pension, at which point all of his service is taken into account so he hands back his RFR LS&GC and is granted a full Royal Navy LS&GC. He served on the cruiser, HMS Euryalus in the Mediterranean during the war. A very interesting group.
William John Leech RHA ROI (1881 - 1968)London Bridge and Soutwark CathedralOil on canvas, 44 x 36cm (17¼ x 14¼)SignedExhibited: 'William J. Leech Exhibition’ The Dawson Gallery, March 1947; 'William John Leech: An Irish Painter Abroad', National Gallery of Ireland, October-December 1996, Catalogue No.100.Born in Dublin, William John Leech studied at the Metropolitan School of Art and later at the RHA School under Walter Osborne and at the Academie Julian in Paris. From 1903 until 1917 Leech lived mainly in Concarneau in Brittany, but visited Dublin regularly and continued to exhibit annually at the RHA, who elected him a full member in 1910. His reputation was gaining similar status in Paris, where he won a bronze medal at the 1914 Salon. In 1918 Leech served for a time in France, but this experience of World War I left him suffering from depression. He continued painting however, and exhibited throughout the 1920s and 1930s at the RHA, RA and New English Club in London, and represented Ireland at a number of significant international locations including Venice in 1926 and Brussels in 1930. From 1944 on Leech was represented by the Dawson Gallery in Dublin, where solo shows were held in 1945. A major retrospective of his work was held at the National Gallery of Ireland in 1997 and toured to the Ulster Museum and the Musee des Beaux Arts, Quimper, accompanied by an extensive catalogue by Denise Ferran.Although he received a huge amount of recognition for his art throughout his life, Leech struggled financially, often making his own frames to save money. His paintings can be found in major Irish collections such as the National Gallery of Ireland, The Hugh Lane, The Office of Public Works, Ulster Museum and Crawford GalleryIn her 1997 catalogue Denise Ferran wrote of this piece that it was one of a series of works painted by Leech in oils and watercolour of the Thames around the Billingsgate area painted from 1939 onwards. She notes of this work “the curve of the dock forms a lead-in to the expanse of cold water beyond which small wooden boats are moored at the harbour. The piers wooden uprights offset the dominant horizontal of the bridge beyond. The swell of the icy water is captured in strong brushstrokes in tones of blue. These works are evocative of Monet’s views of Westminster, seen in muted tones and captured in atmospheric light”.Our thanks to Dr Denise Ferran whose scholarly writing on William J. Leech formed the basis of this catalogue entry.
