MAURICE LAMBERT: SCULPTOR, ROYAL ACADEMICIAN, ROYAL WELCH FUSILIER

This is the second article in a series looking at the lost, forgotten or neglected contributions made to Welsh art and literature by soldiers in the two World Wars. Maurice Prosper Lambert (1901-1964) was born in Paris in 1901, the son of the Russian-born Australian painter George Washington Lambert and his wife Amelia Beatrice Absell. When Maurice later applied for a passport he found he had no official nationality, and had to apply for nationalization as a British subject. His early life was spent in London and as a young man he spent many hours at the London Zoo, studying animals and birds. He was the brother of the musician Constant Lambert, whose son Kit became the manager of the band The Who. The family belonged to the Bloomsbury set of intellectuals and were on intimate terms with the Sitwells and others.1 His godmother was the ballerina Dame Margot Fonteyn.
