Footnote:Gordon Mitchell Forsyth (1879-1952) attended the Gray's School of Art, Aberdeen, followed by the Royal College of Art, London, before establishing a career in the ceramic industry in the early 20th century. He held the position of Art Director for the Minton Hollins Tile Co in 1903, and soon after Art Director for Pilkington's Tile and Pottery factory. It was here that arguably his greatest artistic ceramic designs were executed where the influence of the Pre-Raphaelites was strongly embraced. As with many young artists of his generation, Forsyth served in the Great War, before returning to Staffordshire and the ceramic heart of Britain in 1920, where he held the title of Superintendent of Art Instruction in Stoke-on-Trent and oversaw ceramic design to many notable students. Edith Cavell was a British Nurse who was celebrated for treating wounded soldiers from both sides without discrimination during the First World War. Cavell helped around 200 Allied soldiers escape from occupied Belgium before being court-marshalled under German Military Law and executed by firing squad on 12th October, 1915. During her career before WWI Edith Cavell was Assistant Matron at Shoreditch Infirmary from 1903-1906.
