Mar 21, 2023 · Esmond Knight was born on May 4, 1906 in East Sheen, Surrey, England. The youngest of four, he was a natural athlete, having joined the rowing team at Westminster School. He was also known to be interested in falconry, with his uncle, Capt. C.W.R. Knight, passing on the talent to him.

The special guest was meant to be Burkard, Baron von Muellenheim-Rechberg, the gunnery office on Bismarck who, as Esmond put it, "blew me to blazes" in 1941 - but he fell ill at the time of the filming and was unable to attend.

I t's not entirely surprising that Esmond Knight should have taken up painting as a pastime - the surprising element is that he didn't do it sooner. There were artists on both maternal and paternal sides of his family, most notably his great-uncle, John Buxton Knight (1843-1908), a gifted if somewhat volatile landscape painter whose work hangs in the Tate Gallery, London.
