Dear David: I think I may have been the person who assisted you with your last Churchill question regarding Ivor Churchill's wife?
Is there a photograph of the painting you are trying to identify? I love doing investigative work on WSC and will help if possible. I will also see if I can see it in any of my personal Churchill library of over 800 books and hundreds of magazines dating back to the late 1890's.
