Sun Yat-sen (far left) with group of schoolgirls. Copy from December 1955. Sun Yat-sen (12.11.1866 - 12.3.1925) was a Chinese revolutionary and first president and founding father of the Republic of China (Nationalist China). As the foremost pioneer of the Republic, Sun is referred to as the 'Father of the Nation' in the Republic of China (ROC), and the 'forerunner of democratic revolution' in the People's Republic of China. Sun played an instrumental role in the overthrow of the Qing dynasty during the Xinhai Revolution. Sun was the first provisional president when the Republic of China was founded in 1912 and later co-founded the Kuomintang (KMT), serving as its first leader. Sun was a uniting figure in post-Imperial China, and remains unique among 20th-century Chinese politicians for being widely revered amongst the people from both sides of the Taiwan Strait. Although Sun is considered one of the greatest leaders of modern China, his political life was one of constant struggle and frequent exile. After the success of the revolution, he quickly fell out of power in the newly founded Republic of China, and led successive revolutionary governments as a challenge to the warlords who controlled much of the nation. Sun did not live to see his party consolidate its power over the country during the Northern Expedition. His party, which formed a fragile alliance with the Communists, split into two factions after his death.

Mrs McGrigor-Phillips a.k.a Dorothy Una Ratcliffe (1887-1967). Yorkshire Poet. Born in Brighton of a Yorkshire father, Dorothy moved to Leeds upon her first marriage and began a writing career that lasted from the 1920s to the 1960s, publishing 40 books of poetry, memoirs, character sketches and plays and contributing many articles to the Dalesman and The Yorkshire Post. Her maiden name was Clough. Her first marriage to Charles Ratcliffe (nephew of Edward Allen Brotherton, Lord Brotherton of Wakefield, self-made chemical magnate) ended c.1930 although she retained Ratcliffe as a pen name her whole life. Her second husband was Noel McGrigor-Phillips who died c1942 and with whom she renovated Temple Sowerby Manor (now known as the National Trust property, Acorn Bank in Cumbria). She later married Alfred Charles Vowles in 1947, but refused to change her name, so Alfred changed his to Phillips. She was the youngest ever Lady Mayoress of Leeds (1913-14), officially partnering her widowed father in law. She was a philanthropist and patron of the arts and literature (being responsible for the origination and eventual endowment of the Brotherton collection of early printed books now in Leeds University library). She travelled extensively to Africa, Europe, Iceland and particularly to Greece, but the Second World War and Noel's deteriorating health curtailed foreign travel and directed her to the British Isles. Both with Noel and later with Alfred, a professional photographer from the West Country, she explored Scotland - often in a caravan - and after leaving Temple Sowerby eventually settled in Edinburgh (Anne Street) in the 1950s. She remained there with Alfred for the rest of their married life, and eventually moved to a flat overlooking the sea in North Berwick after Alfred died in the early 1960s. She died in 1967, age 80 with her first novel half-completed. A more complete biography and additional photographs available here: http://www.artisan-harmony.com/durplusbutton.htm
