* PETER KNOX (BRITISH b. 1942), MANY FACES oil on board, signedunframedoverall size 36cm x 36cm Note: Heavy industrial images tend to be the (more than welcome) norm for many an artist who has grown up in and around the North East of England, a proud and resolute region and people who’s previous generations were collectively responsible for the accumulative successes of mining, shipbuilding, railway construction and steelworking to name but four industries on which the North East’s reputation was built and in which its economy prospered, until fairly recent times. One such son of this area was acclaimed contemporary fine artist, Peter Knox, whose signature works of art provide a very visual dialogue and readily seal a pictorial documentation of the lives and industrious times of the landscape which it’s fair to say shaped Knox’s childhood. Knox’s visual diary presents enigmatic and evocative industrial images, which whilst portray typical vistas in a unswervingly unrealistic illustrative gaze, never lose sight of an entrenched affection and underlying sensitivity for what the artist describes himself as a vanishing world. If there’s one common thread running through Knox’s work it’s that inextricable link between the awareness, connection and concept of family, friends and childhood all being woven into his canvases. With nearly every family in the North East at one time seeing many of its members employed in the shipyards that dotted the banks of the River Tyne, the engineering works which worked in tandem with the dockyards, the mines or the steelworks, the sense of community and a common purpose was immense, and is a socio-economic essence which Knox captures with style, grace and aplomb in his individual and collective pictures. Typical scenes of the North East’ said industrial heritage were more often than not witnessed from the crossbar of Knox’s father’s bicycle, as father and son took in the sights, sounds and smells of their hometown during Knox junior’s formative years, and it was undoubtedly this powerful scenery which inspired the (as yet) unexplored artist in Knox retrospectively. Knox was born in Hartlepool back in 1942 and has plied his trade as a professional fine artist for in excess of 35 years now, having initially trained in creative disciplines both locally, at Hartlepool and then latterly, in Leicester. In 1968 onwards, Knox became a tutor for the College of the Sea (now known as the Marine Society) and courtesy of this role was fortunate enough to travel around the globe in the guise of art instructor, passing on his knowledge and skillset in drawing and painting to others, primarily those aboard merchant ships. Knox had always possessed an affinity with the sea, born and bred on the coast himself, and as a child dreamed of adventures on the high seas and circumnavigating the ocean waves further a field, habitually losing himself in wondrous fictional worlds filled with late night naval tales and fishing yarns passed down through successive generations of coastal-dwelling folk. After following his heart and experiencing a life at sea, Knox returned to land and enjoyed a three year stint as an art lecturer in Norwich, before eventually opting to take up painting on a full-time basis and seeking to dedicate himself to his personal calling permanently. Now living and working in the Scottish Borders, Knox’s art has found favour with fans and collectors alike, around the world, with a continual host of galleries exhibiting his work, whilst a number of his paintings are found in the collection of The National Maritime Museum as well as the Marine Society.

Belgian, Croix de Guerre London Gazettes 21 August 1919 and 4 September 1919. Robert William Benjamin Simms was born on 11 August 1865. As a young man he joined the Royal Marines and served in the Royal Marine Artillery. He was subsequently promoted Sergeant, and in that rank was awarded the Royal Navy L.S. & G.C. In the April 1898 edition of The Globe and Laurel he is shown as a Sergeant Instructor wearing his medal. On the formation of the 3rd Battalion Northumberland Fusiliers in 1900, Quartermaster Sergeant Instructor Simms transferred to the Army and to that battalion, being promoted to Sergeant-Major in June 1900. He was discharged to a pension in April 1906. On the outbreak of the Great War, Simms rejoined the Army. He was appointed Temporary Quartermaster with the honorary rank of Lieutenant on 28 October 1914, serving with the Portsmouth (later 14th) Battalion Hampshire Regiment. He was advanced to Temporary Lieutenant on 30 November 1914 and Temporary Captain on 11 March 1917. Temporary Captain Simms was transferred to the General List, and appointed an Assistant Provost-Marshal (graded as Staff Captain) on 21 April 1917. Mentioned in General Haig’s despatch of 7 November 1917 (London Gazette 11 December 1917), he was then awarded the M.C. for services in Italy. The 41st Division with whom he had been serving had been sent to the Italian Front in November 1917; it later returned to the Western Front in March 1918. On 1 May 1918 Simms was promoted to Temporary Major. As such he was awarded the Belgian Order of the Crown and twice awarded the Croix de Guerre.

London Gazette 25 July 1901: ‘In recognition of service during operations in South Africa.’ The original recommendation adds: ‘For conduct of a convoy near Petrusberg. His good disposition, pluck and coolness saved the convoy.’ Arthur Pelham Frankland was born in Dover on 23 December 1874, the second son of Colonel Sir William Adolphus Frankland, 9th Baronet, of Heath House, Shropshire. Educated at Oxford and Sandhurst, he was appointed from the Royal Military College to a commission in the Suffolk Regiment in the London Gazette of 27 September 1895, and was awarded the D.S.O. whilst serving with the 1st Battalion in South Africa. Transferred to the 2nd Battalion, Lancashire Fusiliers, he was slightly injured on 23 April 1901 at Roodeval; the casualty list published in The Globe on 27 April 1901 confirms the injury, adding: ‘by a fall from his horse.’ Raised Captain, Frankland returned home with his Regiment and was decorated with the D.S.O. by His Majesty King Edward VII at an investiture held at Buckingham Palace in July 1901. Transferred to the Army Reserve as Captain, he had another equine-associated accident in 1904 when a butcher’s cart ‘driven at a furious rate’ caused him to fall off his bicycle in Harpur-street, Bedford. The Bedfordshire Mercury noted: ‘the witness [Frankland] cut his knee rather badly and was severely shaken’. Recovered from his injuries, Frankland later took employment as a land agent in the Channel Islands and for Prince Blucher at Crowcombe Court, Somerset, before settling down at Thirkley House in Ascot. Transferred to Army Reserve as Captain, Frankland was recalled to the Colours upon the outbreak of the Great War and served in France with the 2nd Battalion, Lancashire Fusiliers, from 19 September 1914. Raised Major, attached Royal Flying Corps (Anti-Aircraft Headquarters), he qualified 1st class interpreter in French and was employed in the formation of Group Headquarters at Birmingham from November to December 1917. Twice Mentioned in Despatches, he died in Hampshire in January 1948.
