He served in the Royal Navy Volunteer Reserve in the last years of the Second World War and then worked for the British Council in a wide range of overseas postings, from which he later drew inspiration for his novels.Clive King was born in Richmond, London, in April 1924 and grew up in Ash, Kent. He was educated at The King's School, Rochester, Kent from 1933 to 1941 and then at Downing College, Cambridge, where he obtained a BA in English. From 1943 to 1946 He served as a Sub-Lieutenant in the Royal Navy Volunteer Reserve, which took him to the Arctic, India, Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), Australia, Malaya and Japan, where he saw the then recent devastation of Hiroshima.After leaving the Reserve King began working as an officer of the British Council and was posted to Amsterdam as an Administrative Officer (1948–50).
