Captain Cuthbert Julian Orde (18 December 1888 – 19 December 1968) was an artist and First World War pilot. He is best known for his war art, especially his portraits of Allied Battle of Britain pilots. ==Family background== Orde was born on 18 December 1888 in Norfolk,〔England & Wales, Birth Index, 1837-1915: Yarmouth, Norfolk (1837-1924), Volume 4b, p18. Retrieved from ancestry.co.uk, 31 October 2010.〕 the second of five children.〔Marquis de Ruvigny, The Blood Royal of Britain, Descendants, p521. Retrieved from ancestry.co.uk, 31 October 2010.〕 He attended Framlingham College 1902-07.〔 〕 His parents were Sir Julian Walter Orde (14 January 1861 – 17 June 1929) and Alice Georgiana Orde (née Archdale) (1862–1945) of Hopton House, Hopton, Norfolk. Sir Julian was the long-serving - at least 1903〔 〕 - 1914〔 〕 - Secretary of the Automobile Car Club of Britain and Ireland (which became the Royal Automobile Club). In response to the Motor Car Act 1903 raising the speed limit to a mere 20 mph, in 1904 he went to the Isle of Man where, with permission of his cousin the Governor, he started the TT races.〔 He was also an early member of the Royal Aero Club of the United Kingdom,〔 〕 serving on its committees as early as 1909.〔 〕 It may be from here that his sons got their impetus to join the Royal Flying Corps. The family had a strong military tradition going back several centuries. Orde’s great-grandfather was Major-General James Orde.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cuthbert Orde」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
