Lee quickly took to flying but was permanently grounded when “a grinding headache” accompanied by a blurring of the vision in his left eye took hold on one of his last flight training sessions and his optic nerve was determined to be “unreliable.” He put in an application for the RAF Intelligence section. He suddenly felt the need for drastic change and decided to join the war effort.
He then switched to a manufacturing and exporting firm called Beecham’s before joining the Royal Air Force (RAF), partially prompted by learning of the death of his long-absent father. His military service began in Finland but was short-lived there as “the tiny Finnish army was doing rather well…without our help.” He went back to work in the shipping company mail room job he had gotten just before the War. Though Lee discusses his war years over several chapters of his autobiography, he reveals very little beyond the broad strokes of the facts along with several amusing, though generally innocuous anecdotes. Upon returning to England, Lee got a job at a shipping company before the War came to his home shores as well. In Paris, he also learned of what was going on in the world and escaped France just barely ahead of Hitler’s invasion.
TALES OF ESCAPE MINE HAMMER SERIAL
In 1939, he visited one of Ingle’s friends in Paris and was taken to the last public execution in France of serial killer Eugen Weidmann, an event that shook him to the core and had a profound impact on his life. Before he completed his education there, Ingle’s money ran out and he and Lee’s mother divorced. Like many of his age, Lee attended a boarding school in his youth, in his case Wellington College, a “very military establishment” until he was seventeen. He also had a surprising skill with knife-throwing and could “even throw scissors with tolerable accuracy.” He did not take well, apparently, either to mathematics or to anything involving water, nearly drowning on several occasions.
In his youth, Christopher Lee had an aptitude for languages, something possibly gleaned from his stepfather. A few years later, his mother married a banker, Harcourt Geroge St-Croix Rose, who went by Ingle, who Christopher quite liked, calling him a “clever and capable man” who “showed me many kindnesses.” Lee knew very little of his father as he left his mother when he was only four and his sister Xandra was nine. The actor who would later become world famous for playing Dracula joked in his autobiography Tall, Dark and Gruesome that “at the same time that I was being made, so was Nosferatu.” His mother had a royal pedigree that could be traced back to the Emperor, Charlamagne, a character that Christopher would always find great fascination with. Christopher Frank Carandini Lee was born 100 years ago on to Lieutenant Colonel Geoffrey Lee and the Contessa Estelle Marie Carandini Lee.
