William Charles Whitlock (Southampton, 20 June 1918 – 2 November 2001, Leicester) was a British Labour Party politician.
Part of the British Expeditionary Force (BEF), he was one of those evacuated on the last day at Dunkirk, escaping aboard a fishing trawler in June 1940.
An excellent linguist, he remained in the Army for an extra year, acting as a German translator during the occupation.
Sent in 1969 to negotiate with the fledgling government of Anguilla, then seceding from Saint Kitts and Nevis, he was unceremoniously expelled from the country at gunpoint.
[1] In 1983, he unexpectedly lost his seat to the Conservative Party candidate Richard Ottaway as part of Labour's national landslide defeat that year.
