[enfant perdus]

I’m hoping that someone in our illustrious community has a copy of DEEDS THAT THRILL the EMPIRE True Stories of the Most Glorious Acts of Heroism of the Empire’s Soldiers and Sailors during the Great War and would be willing to do a quick look up.

I recently acquired the original artwork for two of the illustrations. The first is of Lance-Corporal Parker (1/5th KOSB) holding off the Turks in a mine gallery at Gallipoli. Unfortunately the artists signature is very difficult to read given the medium and color palette. Can anyone help?

The second has no information at all, other than a note on the back (I think from the publisher) indicating “page 181, part VIII”. The artist is Ernest ????, and besides learning his name, I’m curious as to what the incident portrayed is.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Edit:Loaded images in wrong order, of course.
