(Ted) Lewis born 1908 was educated in New Zealand, studied art at the Royal College in London becoming an art teacher in Hamilton and Wellington. He enlisted for war service in 1941 opting for a non-combatant role in the medical corps. His artistic skills lead him to secondment as a matchmaker in Army HQ with General Freyberg. In Casall, Italy, Ted was visited by the Official War Artist, Peter McIntyre who was most impressed with his work and suggested he should join him to provide official drawings for records. This did not happen, though sometimes Ted was given special permission to make drawings. Ted died in 1992, aged 8.4 cm
