Dear Forum, I was recently staying with a friend who had two paintings by "Stick" Walsh, dated ? 19. They were a send up of the Butcho Black Watch, with his sporran sticking out and the feminine The Greys, with limp wrist and cigarette and on his tip toes. The Black Watch had a buzby hat with red plumes and The Grey had a white plume with black stockings. Can anyone in this forum help out with the artist and what the friendly rivalry was of these two regiments.
My friend acquired these paintings on paper from the Red Cross shop and had them on the wall of her sons bedroom (he was keen on soldiers) and had never noticed the detail until I stayed and noticed the comic characters.
Regards,
Anne
