Bio Notes: Francis William Doyle-Jones (1873-1938) was born in West Hartlepool, Yorkshire. He studied sculpture at the Royal School of Art, South Kensington School under the French sculptor Edouard Lanteri. Working predominantly in bronze and granite he designed and produced busts, relief potraits ts and public monuments, such as the bust of Robert Burns, Galashiels. In 1926 his work was described in The Studio as llustrating 'the tendency in modem sculpture towards an uncompromising realism.' Following the Great War he won a number of commissions for English War memorials, such as Sutton Coldfield (1922) and Northtleet Cement Works, Gravesend. The Partick and Whiteinch is his only known Scottish memorial. The memorial bears many similarities with the one he produced for Brighouse, Yorkshire (1922) and his South African War Memorial in Saltwell Park, Gateshead (1905).
