§ Harry Phillips, (British, 1911-1976), The Dancer, a patinated bronze figure, dancing in a full North American Indian style head dress, unsigned 47cm (18in) Provenance: From the Zacron Collection. Exhibited: Leeds, Temple Newsam, Harry Phillips Exhibition, 3 April 1976. Harry Phillips was Head of the School of Sculpture and Pottery at Leeds College of Art from 1950.

His son, Steve Phillips, played with Mark Knopfler of Dire Straits and Knopfler wrote the song “In the Gallery" about Harry Phillips. Phillips wrote in January 1976 from Lewes, "It is part of my belief that the artist should carry out every stage of the work himself and this applies particularly to bronze sculptures. They are so often spoilt in commercial foundries because of over casting and loss of 'touch' in the surface. The large castings I have had to leave to the foundries, but all the small bronzes I have cast myself".

Near Le Transloy, France, 5th November 1916. For most conspicuous bravery in action when in command of the second wave of the attack. Finding that the first wave had suffered heavy casualties, its commander killed and the line wavering, Lieut Bennett advanced at the head of the second wave, and by his personal example of valour and resolution reached his objective with but sixty men. Isolated with his small party, he at once took steps to consolidate his position under heavy rifle and machine-gun fire from both flanks, and, although wounded he remained in command directing and controlling. He set an example of cheerfulness and resolution beyond all praise, and there is little doubt that but for his personal courage the attack would have checked at the outset.
