Columb 'Collie' Thomas Knox (1899–1977) was a British writer and journalist active during World War II and the 1950s.[1] After a varied military career, he joined the Daily Express before switching to the Daily Mail, which promoted him as a star journalist.
In 1944 he married Gwendoline Frances Mary Mitchell,[2] but they divorced in 1948.
For a time he shared a flat in Brighton with landscape designer Peter Coats,[3] and together with Sir David Webster, Robin Maugham, Douglas Byng, and others, became slightly notorious as one of that town's homosexual celebrities.[4]
