Geoffrey Pyke

Geoffrey Nathaniel Joseph Pyke (9 November 1893 – 21 February 1948〔Churchill's Iceman – Henry Hemming (London: Arrow, 2014)〕) was an English journalist, educationalist, and later an inventor whose clever, but unorthodox, ideas could be difficult to implement. In lifestyle and appearance, he fitted the common stereotype of a scientist-engineer-inventor or in British slang, a "boffin".
Pyke came to public attention when he escaped from internment in Germany during World War I. He had travelled to Germany under a false passport, he was soon arrested and interned. Pyke is particularly remembered for his innovative proposals for weapons of war, most especially the material pykrete and the proposed construction of the ship Habakkuk from it.
== Early life ==
Pyke's father, Lionel Edward Pyke, was a Jewish lawyer who died when Geoffrey was only five, leaving his family with no money. His mother quarrelled with relatives and made life "hell" for her children. She sent Pyke to Wellington, then a typical public school mainly for the sons of Army officers. At his mother's insistence, Pyke maintained the dress and habits of an Orthodox Jew. The persecution he suffered instilled in him a hatred of and contempt for ''The Establishment''. After two years at Wellington he was withdrawn, tutored privately and then admitted to Pembroke College, Cambridge to study law.
