Henry Lamb

Henry Lamb




Lamb was Australian by birth

eighteen eighty three he graced the earth.

Manchester, England the family moved

fathers career prospect improved,




Father a professor in the education game

well known, not destined for fame.

Henry educated at Manchester Grammar

not bad, an average performer.




A brief spell studying medicine

restless for at art he packed it in.

Then off to a Paris art academy

started to paint scenes in Brittany.




Death of a Peasant was painted there

A sad work projects dispair.

Back to London finishing medical studies

then joins the army in charge of auxiliaries.




Badly gassed near the end of the war

the end of his tour with the medical corps.

The Military Cross for gallantry

and more fame for his artistry.
