Robert Laycock - Early life
Laycock was born in London on April 18, 1907, the eldest son of Sir Joseph Frederick Laycock, a Royal Artillery officer. His mother was Katherine Mary, former marchioness of Devonshire.
Laycock was very fond of his father, who was knighted for his service in World War One.
Eton College was followed by the Royal Military College at Sandhurst and a commission in the Royal Horse Guards in 1927. Laycock was an intelligent man, well read.
Marriage followed in 1935, to Angela Claire Louise, daughter of William Dudley Ward, M.P. They had two sons and three daughters.
When World War Two broke out a scientific bent caused Laycock to be appointed to the chemical warfare section of the British Expeditionary Force in France. This was a dead end position, and Laycock was sent back to Britain to staff college and missed the Battle of France.
Admiral of the Fleet Sir Roger Keyes was appointed by Winston Churchill as head of Combined Operations in the summer of 1940, and he soon sent for Laycock, whom he knew by reputation.
