Ralph Payne-Gallwey

Sir Ralph William Frankland Payne-Gallwey, 3rd Baronet (1848–1916) was an English engineer, historian, ballistics expert, and artist.

In 1881, he inherited from his father the Thirkleby Hall estate in the North Riding of Yorkshire.

Their son William Payne-Gallwey was a soldier and first-class cricketer who was killed in action during the First World War.

Early works included The Book of Duck Decoys (1886) and Letters to Young Shooters (1892).

This was an appeal for conscription to be brought in, to greatly increase the size of the British Army.

"Letters to young Shooters". Caricature by Spy published in Vanity Fair in 1893.
