His father was of German and French descent (born in Paris) and his mother was Scottish.〔()Olga Lehmann's Burlington murals〕 Naturalized a British citizen and educated at Dulwich College, London, and Queen's College, Oxford, he demonstrated impressive intellectual and athletic capabilities, achieving the status of Junior Fencing Champion for England. In 1942, he married Alastine Mary Bell, by whom he had three children. He was commissioned in to the 6th Rajputana Rifles of the British Indian Army on the 26 November 1942.〔April 1944 Indian Army List〕 He contracted polio, which effectively put an end to any athletic ambitions, but did nothing to diminish his intellectual and academic achievements after the war. He relinquished his commission due to ill-health and was granted the honorary rank of Lieutenant 19 May 1944.〔London Gazette 14 July 1944, page 3298〕 In addition to his literary output, Lehmann assumed a variety of academic posts at the Universities of Manchester, Reading, worked as a director of Linguaphone, and in 1983 accepted the post of Rank Foundation Professor of European Studies and Dean of Studies at Buckingham University, which he held until his retirement in 1988. ==Further reading== *''Marquis Who's Who in the World'', "Lehmann, Andrew George", N.J.: Marquis Who's Who, 2005. * () Google Books "A.
