§ Sir Alfred Munnings, PRA (British, 1878-1959) General Jack Seely's war horse Warrior, who survived four years on the Western Front inscribed "Warrior aged 26 / June 1934" and signed "A J Munnings" lower right pencil 19½ x 24cm (7 x 9in) Provenance: Newmarket collection; Thence by descent Literature: Illustrated in the book 'Warrior : The Amazing Story Of A Real War Horse' by General Jack Seely; illustrated by Sir Alfred Munnings ; introduced by Brough Scott, pub. 2013 (originally published as 'My Horse Warrior' by General Seely), p. 156, with the description by Seely "Here is the Munnings second study of Warrior which he regards as a better portrait. It is Warrior to the life." There is a similar study of Warrior by Munnings on the previous page, which Munnings was not happy with - the description for this illustration reads "Munnings made this first study of Warrior at twenty six years of age this summer. Afterwards he felt that he had made his neck a little too long, so he made a second" Other Notes: Warrior was a bay thoroughbred gelding who General Jack Seely, a great friend of Winston Churchill's, bred from his mare Cinderella. She foaled in 1908 near his family home at Brooke on the Isle of Wight. Warrior survived four years of war on the Western Front and became a legend, dubbed "The horse the Germans could not kill." General Seely and Warrior led many battles during the war, including the vital charge at Moreuil Wood on 30th March, 1918. Sir Alfred Munnings was a good friend of General Seely' and he drew many portraits of Warrior during and after the war. Munnings first met Warrior in 1918 on the Front Line near Small Foot Wood after the battle of Paschendale and the attack on Cambrai (which Seely's brigade led). A few days later, Munnings painted his first portrait of Seely astride Warrior, which is now in Canada. After the war, Warrior retired home to the Isle of Wight. He won the Isle of Wight Point-to-Point on 30th March, 1918, exactly four years after the charge at Moreuil Wood. Munnings continued to visit and draw Warrior at home. After drawing him in his paddock at Mottistone, sixteen years after he first painted him on the Front Line, he is quoted in General Seely's book as saying "My first portrait of Warrior was done in mud and frost and east wind, under much discomfort and in a hurry, in 1918. My second portrait was made under very different conditions sixteen years later ... Instead of a few hours in the perishing cold, this time we had days of leisure in the warm June sun, with blackbirds singing and turtle doves cooing up in the elms. I think Warrior a grand type of horse. The sixteen years have passed lightly over him, his legs are still clean, a wonderfully girthed horse, and a good pattern to study."
