==Early Biography==
The mini-biography on the back flap of his first novel says: "He was born in London but brought up in Canada where his father was a broker and his mother an actress. He grew up in an atmosphere of the theatre and comfortable bohemianism until the great slump of the early thirties when the family fell on hard times and returned to England. He worked his way back to Canada on a Danish coal boat in 1935 and has worked since in various jobs including that of labourer in a sheet-metal works, in a travel agency and as a telephone installation mechanic." He joined the Young Communist League in the 1930s, an act which estranged him from his father. He married Cecily Fearn in 1940. Between 1940 and 1946 he served with the Royal Corps of Signals 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Julian Putkowski interviews Dave Wallis )〕 and was in the Western Desert and other parts of the Middle East Command, finishing the war in Germany. After the war, in 1947, he entered the emergency training scheme for teachers, and began teaching a year later. He also turned away from communism and joined the Labour Party.
