=DADD, STEPHEN GABRIEL=, Leading Seaman, Z 544, Anson Battn.,
Royal Naval Division, yst. _s._ of Stephen Thomas Dadd, of 26,
Sunderland Road, Forest Hill, S.E., Artist, by his wife, Eva Elizabeth,
dau. of John Hilton; _b._ Lewisham, 17 May, 1894; educ. Aske
Hatcham School, New Cross, S.E., and received his art education at
the Goldsmiths’ College School of Art under Mr. Frederick Marriot,
Hon. A.R.C.A. (Lond.), A.R.E. He joined the Royal Naval Division on
7 Oct. 1914, after the outbreak of war, left with his battn. for the
Dardanelles on 17 May, his twenty-first birthday, and was killed in
action on 5 July, 1915; _unm._ Petty Officer William Arblaster,
writing on behalf of his comrades, said: “He was in my platoon and was
liked and respected by all, both by his seniors and by those he was
in charge of.... He was killed yesterday morning about 7 a.m., and
was quietly buried in the afternoon.” He early showed a preference
for the sculptor’s art, in which he made rapid progress, and in
1912, when under 18, exhibited his first work at the Royal Academy,
“Elfreda,” a bust of his sister; and in 1914 he was again represented
in the Academy, this time by an animal group, “True Foes Once Met
are Joined till Death.” This represented an Indian elephant with his
massive head and trunk crushing into the earth, as he kneels over
him--a tiger--who, in his last agony, with claws extended, tears vainly
at his huge antagonist. In the 1915 Royal Academy was the portrait
bust of “Winnie,” considered by many who are entitled to speak with
authority as showing high technical experience. Also in this year’s
Royal Academy (1916) he is represented by a group, “Lions and Prey,”
modelled by him three years ago. He made many studies of animals and
birds at the Zoological Gardens, in which he showed remarkable grasp
of form, movement and character. He was well known as a fine swimmer,
being a member of the Lewisham Swimming Club. He won, among other
races, the 100 yards junior championship of London (under 16 years) in
1910, the 1,000 yards championship river race of the Lewisham Swimming
Club in 1911–12, and on several occasions the old Askean quarter-mile
championship. He was, besides, a member of the Blackheath Harriers, and
was well known as a good cross-country runner.
