Many very fine men served in the Artists Rifles.

Worth a retweet so the quality of this drawing isn't lost in a reply! Anyone still do watercolours in their notebooks on training courses?

Edmund Edlmann MC joined the Artists Rifles in 1915 and commissioned into the Lincolns. He was one of our spies. His cousin Herbert served with us in the Boer War and commanded the 1st Bn in France. Another cousin, Francis Edlmann DSO, joined us in 1914.

A very Happy Christmas and New year to all our followers.

John Nash’s painting Over the Top, commemorates the 1st Artists' Rifles attack OTD 1917, near Marcoing. Of the 80 men, 68 became casualties within minutes. Nash was one of the 12 spared. The work is in the IWM. He presented another version to the Artists Rifles.

Looking forward to this. Both Nash brothers were members of the Artists Rifles.

Barnes Wallis served in the Artists Rifles during WWI. As a Corporal he was employed to design the sewage system for their camp at Hare Hall.

In the 1860s the Artists Rifles contained a number of men with socially progressive views. Amongst the best known were John Ruskin, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, William Morris, Lowes Cato Dickinson and Henry Solly.

Good news. All Of London’s Remaining Green Cab Shelters Now Have Listed Status. London's famous cabmen's shelters were designed by a member of the Artists Rifles. The architect Maximilian Clarke (No.967) served in the regiment for 29 years. secretldn.com/london-green-c…

Very good to see this. Jones was also a founding member of the Artists Rifles. Signing up as No. 95 on 10th May 1860, with such men as Frederick Leighton, George Frederic Watts, John Everett Millais, Edward Burne Jones & William Morris.

The Reservist. The next time that you pop into Dorothy Perkins to pick up your 60 Denier Hold Ups look carefully at who is serving you. The Reservist is a man, or woman, of many parts.

Jock Easton DSO MC served with the Regiment during WWII and then rejoined when we were reformed after the war. He volunteered for Korea/Malaya a few years later.
