A 1940's Naval officer's peaked cap with King's crown badge, together with service dress jacket with WWII medal bars. Provenance: Previously belonged to George Eric Ray (Sub. Lt. G E Ray, RNVR) who is now aged 97. He was called up in October 1943 and selected for officer training in the Royal Navy Volunteer Reserve (RNVR) - the Wavy Navy. Further selected for Landing Craft, which came within the realm of Combined Operations, he was despatched to various locations along the west coast of Scotland for training, including Commando Training (because if a landing craft was hit on landing, everyone went forward!). He joined his first craft as First Lieutenant (there being only two officers, the Captain and the 1st Lt. or second-in-command), a tank landing craft LCT952, on the Medina River on the Isle of Wight on D Day + 1 (i.e. 7 June 1944) and then spent the following 12 weeks continually ferrying tanks and their crews from various destinations along the south coast to the Normandy Beaches. After a spell on the River Thames (where landing craft were tethered line abreast directly over the line of Tube Lines under the Thames, so that if a V1 Rocket (Doodlebugs) should land in the river, it would explode on a landing craft and not on the river bed), LCT952 sailed to Belgium in readiness for Operation Infatuate Early in the morning of 1 November 1944, some 15 days before his 20th birthday, and without the promised air cover (because of fog over East Anglia) his flotilla of landing craft successfully landed their units under heavy fire from concrete German gun emplacements.

Ramón Tusquets y Maignon (Spanish, 1838-1904)Le Opere, Campiña Romana signed, inscribed and dated 'R Tusquets/Roma 1871.' (lower right)oil on canvas129.5 x 259cm (51 x 102in).Footnotes:ProvenanceEduardo de Carandolet Donado y Castaños, Marqués de Portugalete and Duque de Bailén, Madrid, acquired at, or soon after, the Exposición Nacional de Bellas Artes, Madrid, 1871.Señor Don Gustavo Baüer, Madrid, by at least 1898.Domingos Demarchi, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and thence by decent to his great grandchildren, the present owners.ExhibitedMadrid, Exposición Nacional de Bellas Artes, 1871, no. 543, where it was awarded a second-class medal.London, Guildhall, Corporation of London Art Gallery, Exhibition of the works by the Prominent painters of Spain, 1901, as The Roman Campagna (Peasants working in the Field), listed as property of Señor Don Gustavo Baüer (exhibition label attached to the reverse).LiteraturePeregrin García Cadena, La Ilustracion de Madrid, vol. 43, p. 292, showing a full-page illustration and p. 334: 'Mr. Tusquets is the one who has surprised this time an episode of that naturalness in the middle of a Roman countryside. Who has not admired that well-ordered composition, that movement so perfectly understood, that impeccable harmony of tone and light, that intelligence of perspective, that general character of truth and naturalness that the photograph of the painting seems to produce? The grouping of the figures, the grandiose effect of the dark light, the delicate accord of the tones and the colours, the refined touch; everything is beautiful in Mr. Tusquets' painting, everything is well expressed, well arranged and executed to perfection.'Manuel Cañete, La Ilustracion Española y Americana, 1871, vol. XXX, p. 524 showing a full-page illustration of the work and vol. XXXVI, p. 614: 'Don Ramon Tusquets, a native of Barcelona, is well placed in the pavilion of Catalan painters. A single painting by him has been shown at the exhibition, but it is worth many, Le Opere Campiña Romana (number 543) is, indeed, a piece of great merit, which none of the other exhibits exceed in quality. It is bewildering therefore the way of distributing the prizes has deprived Tusquets of a first-class medal. Nobody deserved it more, neither for the way of imagining his work, nor for the way of drawing and executing it. The painting of the Roman peasants tilling the land is a new confirmation of the theory so many times demonstrated in practise that the simple representation of nature is enough to produce a beautiful artistic creation, without the need to turn painting into an interpretation of philosophical concepts or abstractions of any genre. What simplicity, what truth, what light, what admirable local colour in the statuesque form of the figures and in the harsh aspect of the landscape! How well understood is the aerial perspective and the gradation of colours. How much harmony in the canvas of Tusquets! There, everything lives with the life of reality and with that of art.'Anon, Correspondencia de Bellas Artes – Raimundo Tusquets, Rome, 24 October 1874, in Revista Europea, no. 38, 1874, p. 93: 'At the Exhibition of 1871 we again saw the appearance of Tusquets' signature in the painting Los Campesinos Romanos. The artist has made a giant step. Nothing so beautiful, nothing so pleasing as that delicious painting, in which one does not know what to admire more - the naturalness and simplicity with which the subject matter was developed or the accuracy of the attitude and expression of the figures; or the correctness or the drawing; or the appropriateness and freshness of the colour; of the diaphanous light and soft atmosphere that bathes it; or the harmony of the whole. That painting was one of the best in that exhibition, and in front of it was constantly seen a group of admirers almost as numerous as the ones that were attracted by La Lucrecia, by Rosales; Santa Clara by Domingo; the Tres de Mayo by Palmaroli, or the Muerte de Seneca by Dominguez.The admirable instinct that leads our people to contemplate the works of art, stopping always in front of the best, without realizing the reason for this, meant that the Tusquets painting had admirers, not just among intelligent people who appreciate and rationalise in detail what the merits and the defects that a painting may have, but among the popular classes that are guided by instinct and appreciate the impression they receive. Nevertheless neither could appreciate that painting well enough because to appreciate it in all its truth, it was necessary to know the country where it was created; it was necessary to have seen these peasants of Roman agriculture engaged in their work; it was necessary to have contemplated these fields with their dark colour, these humid and unhealthy lands; it was necessary have seen this white, soft, pearly light of Roman dawns, a special light that is very different from ours. Everything was captured in that painting with an exactitude, breathtakingly and charmingly beautiful; this could not be gauged by someone in Spain who did not know this country in detail, and yet the picture was admired by all, and Tusquets got an enviable triumph that further strengthened his reputation as an artist. Not even the humorous critic who caused so much hurt to many of the works presented in that exhibition, not speaking of the good qualities of the pictures, but ruthlessly siting any defect, found nothing in the Tusquets that would fuel his scathing jokes. No, I spoke wrong; something occurred in a detail in the background, and precisely in a detail that gave extraordinary truth to the whole, and which the critic had missed seeing to know little of the customs of the Roman peasants.'Alfred George Temple, Modern Spanish Painting, being a review of some of the chief painters and paintings of the Spanish school since the time of Goya, 1898, pp. 48-9: '[Tusquets'] landscapes are very distinctive in character; one of his best examples, rich in colour and firm in delineation, being The Roman Campagna, a large work in the collection of Señor Bauer, in Madrid. Many medals and other distinctions have been awarded to him.'Cien años de pintura en España y Portugal (1830-1930), 1993, p. 72, noting that the work was 'awarded a second-class medal and was acquired by the Marqués de Portugalete.'Photographed by the French photographer Jean Laurent (1816-86), of which there is an example in the Biblioteca Nacional de España, Madrid.Ramón Tusquets' magnificent oil Le Opere, Campiña Romana was painted in Rome, about six years after he had left his Spanish homeland in circa 1865 to live and work in Italy. Keen to maintain his native connections, Tusquets often sent his work to the Spanish exhibitions, of which this was one. It was shown in 1871 at the Exposición Nacional de Bellas Artes, Madrid, where it was awarded a second-class medal. The critics and public alike were unanimous in praising this tour de force for its beauty, harmony, light, colour and naturalism. As some of the reviews noted, Tusquets' achievement drew both on his native artistic heritage and on his more recent understanding of Italian cultur...
