Major Gill's passion for photography was widely recognized throughout Cornwall and beyond. His presentations of stills and cine film were highly anticipated events among various esteemed groups such as The Royal Institution of Cornwall, Royal Cornwall Polytechnic Society, and even the London Cornish Society. What sets Major Gill apart is his meticulous attention to detail.
