  William Knox D'Arcy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The entrepreneur William Knox D'Arcy (October 11, 1849 - May 1, 1917) was one of the main founders of the oil and petrochemical industry in Persia (Iran).
False hopes were raised in 1904 and D'Arcy was forced to find further financial support, with the Burmah Oil Company agreeing to put up to £100,000 into the venture in return for much of the stock.
By April with no success the venture was close to collapse and D'Arcy almost bankrupt, but on May 16 there were encouraging signs and on May 26 at 1180 feet they struck oil.

 William Knox D'Arcy
William Knox D'Arcy was born at Newton Abbot, Devonshire, England in 1849 and was educated at the famous Westminster School in London.
By 1889, William Knox D'Arcy had become a very wealthy man. He apparently remained an Englishman at heart, and thought that Rockhampton was too much in the back-blocks for a fortune to be enjoyed, so in 1889, he and his family returned to live in England.
D'Arcy agreed to finance the venture and early in 1901, he sent Alfred Marriott, a cousin of his private secretary, to Tehran to negotiate for a concession to explore for oil in Persia.

 Gargles | William Knox D’Arcy and the History of Irani Oil
William Knox D’Arcy was born in England on the 11th of October, 1849.
In 1908, seven years after the D’Arcy Concession, huge oil reserves were eventually found in Iran and D’Arcy once again made an enormous fortune.
The future of Iran is unknown but if we use history as a guide then it seems very likely that there will be many attempts by many groups to control the oil reserves for their own interests.

 Beat by Chris Knox CD
The genius of Chris Knox is apparent right from the opening song, the brilliant "It's Love," which with its three chords, great melody, and simple, universal, heartfelt lyric could have written by Buddy Holly a full 45 years earlier.
Knox's passion, bitterness, and anger is unapologetically upfront and often embarrassingly honest, but there's no denying the catchy melodies and singalong hooks his music has to offer.
It's Knox's willingness to boldly say what he has to say that makes him a treasure.
