He was only 29 when on 29th September 1918, merely six weeks before the Armistice, HM Motor Launch No. 247, his craft, disappeared at sea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDuring a powerful southerly gale which swiftly escalated to hurricane-like winds, a flotilla of four Motor Launches found themselves in St Ives Bay, seeking refuge. As the storm intensified, they tried to maneuver into deeper waters. Unfortunately, Allfree's launch experienced engine problems about a mile away from Clodgy Point and began to drift towards Oar Rock. St. Ives' lifeboat sped towards the distressed ship, but arrived just minutes too late. The launch had already collided with the rock and blown up, probably due to the detonation of its depth charges, leaving behind just one survivor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMany of his works are part of the National Collection in the UK and are exhibited at different public sites. The Imperial War Museum houses around 53 of his pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"framed-print-geoffrey-stephen-allfree-a-convoy-in-the-channel-433201","title":"A Convoy in the Channel - Geoffrey Stephen Allfree - Framed art Print","description":"\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFramed Modern Art art print (33 x 40 cm) by Geoffrey Stephen Allfree.  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuy this print framed for  £160.  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuy this print unframed for  £50.  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFramed Size is 33 x 40 cm. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOther print sizes and frame styles are available.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTo buy, or to see more size and frame options, select \u003cstrong\u003e'Choose frame'.\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout this artwork\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBack in 1918, a British artist named Geoffrey Stephen Allfree created the oil painting 'A Convoy in the Channel'.
