Biographies

GREY-SMITH, GUY EDWARD (1916-1981), artist, was born on 7 January 1916 at East Wagin, Western Australia, second child of Victorian-born parents Francis Edward Grey-Smith, station manager, and his wife Ada Janet, née King. Francis Grey Smith was his great-grandfather. Educated at Boyup Brook State and Bunbury High schools, Guy joined the Royal Australian Air Force on 20 January 1936 and trained as a pilot. Next year he took a short-service commission in the Royal Air Force and moved to England. On 19 October 1939 at the parish church, Godmanchester, Huntingdonshire, he married Helen Dorothy Stanes. Following the outbreak of World War II he went to France with No.139 Squadron. In May 1940 his Blenheim bomber was shot down over enemy territory. Baling out, he was hit on the head by the tailplane and severely wounded. While he was in a German prisoner-of-war camp, he began to sketch, using materials supplied by his wife. He developed tuberculosis of the lungs; sent to Britain on a prisoner exchange in 1944, he was admitted to the sanatorium at Midhurst, Sussex, where his interest in painting was further stimulated by an art therapy program.
