Biography

Early life and military service

Woodhouse was the son of Horace Martin Woodhouse, 3rd Baron Terrington and Valerie Phillips, and was educated at Winchester College and then at New College, Oxford, where he took a double first in Classics. After completing his education, Woodhouse enlisted in the Royal Artillery in 1939 and served for the duration of World War II, being commissioned as an officer in 1940 and rising to the rank of Colonel by 1943. He was awarded a DSO and appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire in 1944. He served most of his time in the War in Greece where his love for this country grew strong. (His writings provide ample evidence of those feelings.) In August 1945, he married Lady Davidema Katharine Cynthia Mary Millicent Lytton, the widow of John Crichton, 5th Earl Erne. They had two sons and one daughter.
