Capt. Gerald Feathersone Knight, MC, initially joined the Devonshire Regiment but transferred to the Royal Flying Corps in 1916. In November of that year he was shot down and taken prisoner; in his nine months of captivity he made three escape attempts, the last successful. He died of cancer in 1919, shortly before his Military Cross was awarded for gallantry in making his escape.
