General note
A note on the back of the painting, now covered by backing material following conservation treatment, reads as follows: "Quartermaster James Skitt of "Old Heath"[,] Shrewsbury, Salop. [F]ather of Mary Jane Matthews, who was mother of Major James Skitt Matthews of the 102nd Battalion, Canadian Infantry (wounded Regina Trench)[.] His sons were James, Herbert and Hugh, and James' son and daughter were Hazel and Robert[.] Born about 1923 or 1925. They lived at 1343 Maple St, and 2083 Whyte Ave, Kitsilano Beach, Vancouver. "Quartermaster James Skitt was for forty[-]three years in the Leaton Knolls Troop, Shropshire Yeomary Cavalry, and was presented with a marble timepiece and an address upon his retirement in 1879. Of him it is said in a speech[,] 'I have known Mr Skitt since he was a boy, and to know him has been to love and respect him, and I hope that his life to the end will be what it has always been -- "A man true and just to all".'"
