DoB from John Black's list, which gives Mr Knox's occupation in 1941 as "watchman".
Eric MacNider wrote that Mr Knox had been with the China Maritime Customs. There is a 'T. Knox / 诺士' in the CMC staff lists. It says he joined in Oct 1908 as "Watcher", and left in July 1934 from Shanghai. At that time his position was "Tidesurveyor, B (on sick leave)", and it notes he was invalided out of the organisation.
