First World War Centenary – Ordinary Seaman Frank Noble

In memory of Frank Noble
60 x 80, oil on canvas


I would like to dedicate my latest painting “In memory of Frank Noble” to my Uncle Frank Noble who was one of the many sailors who died during the First World War.  He was born on the 2nd March 1900 at Gosport in Hampshire, England, the son of Frederick Noble and Alice Agnes Knight of 35 Shere Road, Deptford, London, England. By an ironic coincidence he drowned on his 18th birthday, the 2nd March 1918.  He was a member of the Mercantile Marine Reserve and was serving on the ketch “Maria” when the ship went down on the Goodwin Sands off Kent. His name is engraved on the Tower Hill Memorial, London which commemorates those from the Merchant Navy and fishing fleets who died during both world wars and have “no grave but the sea”.

First World War Centenary - 2nd Lieutenant William Smyth Jackson Noble

As this year is the First World War Centenary, I would like to dedicate my painting "The Soldier" to 2nd Lieutenant William Smyth Jackson Noble of the Royal Scots (Lothian) Regiment, my second cousin, twice removed, and other members of the family, who fell during that war.  William was killed in action in Croiselles, France on the 21st March 1918, aged 20.  He was buried in Faubourg-d'Amiens Cemetery, Arras, Departement du Pas-de-Calais, Nord-Pas-de-Calais, France, Plot: Bay 1 and 2.  He was born on the 19th July, 1897 in Corstorphineco, Midlothia Scotland to Frank Noble and Betsy S. Robertson of 24 Wellington Street, Portobello, Edinburgh, Scotland.
