Jock Lewes

[1] Lewes travelled to the United Kingdom to attend Christ Church, Oxford, from September 1933, where he read philosophy, politics and economics.

[5][6] Lewes travelled to Berlin to work for the British Council and,[1] before the events of Kristallnacht in 1938, was briefly an admirer of Hitler and the Nazi state.

[7] A younger brother, David Steel Lewes, was later prominent as a cardiologist in the United Kingdom and was a Royal Air Force medical officer during the war.

[10] In 1941, Lewes was in a group of volunteers assembled by David Stirling to form a unit dedicated to raiding missions against the lines of communication of Axis forces in North Africa.

While returning fire on 30 December, near "Marble Arch" (El Gaus; Arco dei Fileni),[12] Lewes was reportedly hit in the thigh by a 20 mm cannon round and died at the scene of the attack.
