OK Guys & Gals, Below is this man and his basic history. Could you tell me after him returning to England, he was famous for starting up what company ?

The history of crude-oil exploration and production in the Middle East began with William Knox DArcy (1849-1917), a British subject living in Australia who became very rich very quicklytwice. DArcy, a lawyer, invested in gold mines in Rockhampton, Queensland. After becoming a millionaire by the end of 19th century, he and his family returned to England.

Yeah that would have worked better ** but this is what its all about learning not only about history but how to research and how to construct questions to challenge each other

I'm not so good at cryptic clues.
Read about the 8 types of clues. Mostly too deep for me :8
Love it when I crack one tho
Local ABC radio here has "treasure hunter" every Sat from 10 til 12.
Five red envelopes found by following the cryptic clues in each.
2 guests in the studio to decide the direction from clues.
2 ABC staffers in a car to chase the treasure.
Mythical treasure if they get there in time.
Learn a lot about the local area and so many suggestions from listeners, you can only learn to use ya brain more.
End of rant
Lateral thinking....

John Campbell Miles?
Doug Flanagan or stan gill i think it was stan
