== Early Life ==
Gray, born Maurice Charles Harrison Gray on 13 November 1899 at Ingatestone, Essex,〔 was the child of an English father and an American mother. Much of his childhood was spent in Paris, and he became bilingual. He was educated at Haileybury School and served in the British Army at the end of World War I. In his younger days he boxed, played rugby and tennis, rode motorcycles, but leg injuries stopped his sporting activities.〔Marx, Jack. 1972. Introduction to Harrison-Gray, ''Country Life Book of Bridge''.〕 During World War II he was a Flight Lieutenant in the RAF. Later, he became an ardent lepidopterist, breeding tropical moths at his Hampstead home.
Gray later used the surname Harrison-Gray and after leaving Haileybury School he joined the family brewing business.〔 When the company was taken over he turned to writing, at first fiction but he soon became a full-time writer about bridge.〔
