Major William H. Beaumont
British Army
Major William H. Beaumont was my uncle. I don't know anything about his wartime efforts except that I recall being told that he worked with Churchill in cryptography. My uncle was a stern person with a hidden sense of humour. He was headmaster and language professor at a boys' school in Norfolk. He also owned a light blue budgie named 'Tinker' who would crawl up his sleeve and peep out at the neck.
