Spencer was eventually called upon by the War Artists Advisory Committee to depict events that took place in Macedonia. This first war painting led to further commissions, including a series of murals for the Sandham Memorial Chapel in Burghclere, dedicated to fallen soldiers. Spencer continued to work as a war artist until the end of the Second World War, ultimately painting shipbuilders in Glasgow. After the war Spencer began focusing on religious and apocalyptic paintings.</p>
