The oil painting of Major General Sir Charles H. Powell, KCB, was painted by Ella Powell to celebrate his Colonelcy of the 1st King George’s Own Gurkha Rifles (The Malun Regiment) from 1916–1943. The painting was displayed in the dining room of the sitter’s home, The Lower House, Wickham, Hampshire from the 1920s until his death in 1943. Later, in the mid-1970s, the painting was displayed in the Officer’s Mess at Bordon Training Camp, until it was donated to the Gurkha Museum in 2003 when the camp was officially closed.
