Lada Gardiner has recently presented to the Royal Artillery for the Mess 
at 'Woolwich two oil pictures by Hurlstone, President of the Society of British 
Artists, portraits of Sir Robert Gardiner and Sir John McLeod who were father 
and grandfather respectively to her late husband Sir Lynedocli Gardiner, K.C.V.O., 
C.B., Colonel-Commandant R.H.A. The portrait of Sir Robert was painted for 
Sir Lynedocli who spent in that way a tip which was given him when he first got 
his commission. 
Readers of “ Proceedings ” will remember the account of Sir John McLeod 
and his services in and on behalf of the Regiment which appeared in the number 
for July, 1895, under the title of “ The Centenary Cup ” ; and there is an ex¬ 
cellent account of Sir Robert Gardiner’s services contained in two letters from 
Sir Lynedocli published in the number for August, 1893. 
Lady Gardiner in making thi 3 present feels sure that the memory of the 
men will live long and their pictures be rightly placed at the head-quarters of 
the regiment of which they were both so proud. 
The Mess Committee have hung them in a very good light on the North 
wall of the Mess reading room.
