Confusion

His first job was with the Pilgrim Players during the war,
and he married the daughter of his landlady, Beryl and
had a son, Colin, before the army caught up with him,
and he was sent to train for the military police, riding a
motorbike, and destined for Burma. The captain of the
CSEU, Combined Services Entertainment Unit, who
Dickie had met earlier in the war, pulled him out, and he
spent the rest of the war entertaining the troops with
plays. Shakespeare wasn’t popular, and they would hear
the squaddies stamping out, loudly half way through.
He came back to London, and appeared on stage in
‘Carrington VC.’ He made a film, later, ‘The Night my
Number came up’ with Michael Redgrave. In 1952, he
toured South Africa with the Old Vic, and met his 2nd wife
on a one week engagement on the Isle of Man, in 1955.
They have two children and four grand children.
