Vereker Monteith Hamilton

Vereker Monteith Hamilton (14 February 1856 – 1931 Cowden, Kent) was a Scottish artist of military and historical works.

He followed his brother to Wellington College in 1871–73, and was destined for the army, and travelled to Dresden in 1873 to spend time with Colonel Drammers.

He studied art under Alphonse Legros at the Slade School where he won a prize in 1886 for landscape painting.

Hamilton's military works focused primarily on contemporary events such as Piper Findlater at Dargai and the Tirah campaigns.

He had three children; Ian, Marjorie (who married Felix Warre) and Janet (who married diplomat Alexander Wigram Allen Leeper, son of the educationalist Alexander Leeper and grandson of Sir George Wigram Allen).
