*Attributed to James Paine the Younger (1745-1829). The Nile, pen, grey and pale brown ink and wash, and pencil, on laid paper, with shield and post-horn watermark, some marks to surface, a few old paper repairs to verso, and 20th century inscription to verso in pencil: 'The Nile'. Preliminary Study for the pedestal of proposed Nelson's statue in St. Paul's Cathedral, sheet size 26 x 33.5 cm (10.25 x 13.25 ins), tipped onto card mount Provenance: Private Collection, Gloucestershire. A closely matched composition attributed to James Paine the younger and entitled Thames is in the collection of the New York Public Library (formerly collection of T.P.P. Clifford). In an early sketch book by James Paine, held at the V & A Museum, London, dated 1774, there is a similarly posed ink and wash study of a river god. See John Frederick Physick, Designs for English Sculpture, 1680-1860, page 164, figure 127 for a pen, ink and wash design for a memorial to Lord Nelson proposed for St. Paul's Cathedral, signed by Paine, in which sculptures of river gods are placed around the foot of the pedestal. The present drawing, however, is late 18th century in origin, and may be another study by Paine like the Thames drawing, which would later be reused or adapted for the design of monuments. (1)

It was in this capacity he found himself at the start of the Great War. Volunteering his services to the army due to his occupation he was not called to the Colours until October 1917. His embarkation was delayed further and it would not be until April 1918 he set foot in France. The final 100 days saw his Battery in heavy action, at Drocourt he describes being gassed “watching the gas filling the valley”. Surviving this he was once again gassed at Bleharies. He comments that on more than one occasion it was not the German bombs falling on the British trenches but those of the new RAF. He also describes seeing the burnt bodies of pilot and observer next to their crashed aircraft and the more mundane daily activate of sleeping, fleas and rats. The diary records the 2nd September 1918 “our troubles began all day shells were falling closer and closer” the telephone line was cut under heavy fire and he went out to find the break and repair it. Returning to his dug out he was informed the wire was cut again. Out he went again under shell fire and German aircraft bombs, on one occasion a shell falling just 20 yards from him. His dugout received a hit and collapsed. In total he was to venture out on five occasions to repair the line, he was informed the following day his name had been put forward for the award of the Military Medal. In October news was received that his brother George serving with the 2nd Bn South Staffordshire Regiment had died of wounds. On the 11th November he was in a rest camp Numugees when he got the news of the Armistice. Proceeding to Cologne he served with the army of occupation until his discharge in October 1919. He returned to his former job at Addenbrooke Hospital until his retirement in 1948, he died in 1976.
