Born in Surrey,[1] Cain attended the Camberwell School of Art and then the Royal College of Art under Frank Short.[1] He worked as an illustrator cartoonist for the Johannesburg Star[2] before serving in World War I with the British Army as part of the Border Regiment. After the war the Imperial War Museum purchased some of his drawings.[2] Much of his work included scenes from India and the Middle East. His work is held in the V&A Museum, the British Museum, the National Gallery of Art in the USA, the Yale Center for British Art and the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco.[3][4][1][5][6][7]

Cain was exhibited at the Royal Academy regularly from 1921 to 1959.[8]
