Philip was born in Coventry on August 23, 1924, the middle of five children. Aged 16, he helped evacuate his grandparents from their house following the Coventry Blitz of November 1940. He worked for the Ministry of Labour at a local office after leaving school, and joined the army underage, at 17, by processing his own joining up papers. A keen motorcyclist, he joined the Royal Corps of Signals with hopes of being a despatch rider. Selected for officer training, the Brigadier interviewing him at the selection panel queried his age. When Philip confessed to changing it, the Brigadier congratulated him for joining underage, having done the same thing himself in the First World War.
