Hugh Humphrey Pierce was born in Pontypridd, Glamorgan, on 13 October 1931. Educated at Brightlands School, Newnham, and St. Catherine’s College, Cambridge, he was a Lincoln’s Inn Cholmeley Scholar in 1955 and days later was married in Nottingham. His Barrister skills would be of use as he was commissioned Second Lieutenant on 10 December 1955 into the Intelligence Corps and doubtless his investigative skills were in demand with the ability to screen different types of people. Promoted Lieutenant on 24 September 1960 whilst on the Army Emergency Reserve list, he died in Islington, London, 10 September 1998.
