By John Young
Does anyone know the current location of C. E. Fripp's original painting which depicts the death of Lieutenants Melvill & Coghill? |

I know that the National Army Museum in London has one but if this is the original I could not honestly say .

Dear John,
I am at home - so have no reference books - you might like to invest in 'British Artists at War' (I think thats the title) by Peter Harrington. There is a good section on AZW. Give the museum ring or email - they should be able provide the answer. |

I have the book That Martin recommends I have gone through it but it does not say of it whereabouts now of Thripps painting, I have been in touch with a friend who works at the NAM and he tells me it was only loaned to them for a short time the only painting they have is one of the battle of ULundi, But as Martin suggests perhaps the NAM can tell you the information you require.

Clive & Martin,
Many thanks to you both for the informaiion.
Clive, I hope the NAM still has the Fripp Isandlwana painting given to them by 21st S.A.S. ("The Artists' Rifles").
I'll look out for the book to add to the collection.

The book was published by Greenhill books
it was first published in1993, if Greenhil do not have any try Naval & Military Press Ltd.
Best of Luck
