Sussex / Re: Stratford Edward St. Leger

Hello! I'm new at this site!
I am translating Rowland Thirlmere's "Letters from Catalonia and other parts of Spain", and this book contains some sketches by Captain St. Leger. I presume that is the same artist that published the book on Boer War. But I can not imagine him drawing the sketches of my homeland if he didn't visit us. A previous study pointed (with no evidence of it) that Captain St. Leger accompanied Mr Thirlmere in his travel to Spain (spring of 1902). That would fit with the detailed drawings... but I would like to know if this is somehow stated. Did he visited Spain in 1902 with Rowland Thirlmere (whose real name was John Walker)? Thirlmere writes about him being in the company of a fellow traveller, but he doesn't give us his name. Was this companion Captain St. Leger? Some of this sketches are signed by him, and some others by Gilbert Rogers.
Does anyone knows about any travel of Captain St. Leger to Eastern Spain in the years of the turn of the century?
Thank you
