hello.
my name is KEN Cross. I am a volunteer at the British Commercial Vehicle Museum in Leyland Lancs. I am trying to get a few facts about Walter Lambert to display on our information boards.
As far as I can make out Leyland Motors Ltd engaged W L to paint a series of portraits, to be copied for calenders. The first one was issued in 1930. The calenders had the slogan 'The Leyland-She's a Lady'. We display a series of these portraits up the demise of Leyland Motors in the Eighties (both original paintings and prints). These calenders became collectors pieces and, visitors to the museum comment on them and enquire about the artist.
I am afraid there are very large gaps in our knowlege about Walter.
So the info I seek is Walter's D.O.B, Date of D.o.d and any info about his wife ( I believe her name was Louise) and children.
So if you can help in any way I would be most grateful.
