Private Harold Lewis joined the British army and was 25 when he was stationed in France in 1914 and later Belgium. He was a mapmaker. While in the trenches he took out his sketch book and made visual notes of his life as a soldier.

Harold and  Millie

Two grandpas: This photo shows Harold Lewis and Ed Genge at a cottage on Sandy Lake about 1946. I was about a year old. The painting on the easel is of the culvert at the south end of Sandy Lake.Where is that painting now?

If you have any of Grandpa Lewis' paintings would you consider sharing them with the rest of the family via this web page? Take them outside on a nice day (better than using a flash) and take a digital photo. Or contact me: don@teachmetopaint.com and I will come and photograph them for you for this website.

 

 

Harold and Millie Lewis immigrated to Canada with two daughters, Marjorie and Connie. For a while they owned a cottage that they called 'Cheerio' on the Otonabe River.
