Tony was born before World War II. During the war his father joined Special Forces intelligence-gathering, Royal Marine Commandos. This gave Tony exposure to all those courageous soldiers and untold stories of their adventures, combating and progressing through enemy lines to acquire classified German secrets. Tony Muddimer had a difficult childhood coloured with German bombing raids, stark food scarcities and evacuation from his own home to Tenby in South Wales. His classrooms were crammed with students as most teachers were deployed to serve the army. His father was one of the brave soldiers from intelligence-gathering commandos.
