The Life and Art of Sir Ernest Daryl Lindsay

During World War I, he served with the AIF in France. While serving as a Lieutenant and the official medical artist at a specialist military hospital in Sidcup, Kent, he produced an extensive set of images for Sir Harold Gillies, contributing to the advancement of military reconstructive surgery.
His formal studies took place at the Slade School of Art in London. Throughout his career, he achieved moderate success with his paintings of white flowers.
