The Artist
Thence by descent
Through the early 1940's, Lietenant Geoffrey R. Mainwaring was sent to New Guinea on more than one occasion as an Australian army artist. By May 1946 he was aboard HMAS Shropshire on his way to England to record the victory parade scenes.
On 27 May 1947, Mainwaring was discharged from the Army, following which he was appointed as an artist on a civilian basis.
