drafted into the ranks of both the 7th and the 65th Squadrons,
this was done on the basis of strong Irish connections in the
Officer group of the PAOLYC.

Caricature of Lt. P C Evans-Freke 7th Coy,
Imp. Yeo., riding across the veldt. Watercolour by Snaffles (C J
Payne 1884-1967).
'Snaffles' was the son of a bookmaker, Ambrose Payne, in
Leamington Spa, Warwickshire. His hunting began around 1906 when
he was discharged from the Royal Garrison Artillery due to ill
health. His time in the army was a strong influence on his work
and his first recorded works, mainly full-length semi-caricature
portraits, date from this period. He began hunting in the
Aldershot area. Between 1911 and 1914, he was with the
Leicestershire Yeomanry but left before World War I. In 1912 he
moved to Oakham, Rutland and he continued to hunt and this
inspired some of his best works. His work became more varied
after the War, not only undertaking hunting pictures but also a
series of works inspired by a visit to India and military
scenes.
