"Lenehan was designated as a driver in the Royal Field Artillery and fought on the Somme. He survived the war and returned to fulfil his ambition to become a primary school teacher and to marry Linda. It is impossible to know whether Lenehan felt deeply conflicted at this time, torn between his Irish upbringing and his duty as a British soldier. He was born and brought up in a Catholic county and attended a training college in Southern Ireland. What is more, the Easter Uprising in Ireland took place in April 1916, while Lenehan was fighting in France, only shortly before the terrible Battle of the Somme began. Perhaps it is not surprising that, having married his English bride in 1919, the couple moved to live near her family home in Sandiacre, Derbyshire. Here Lenehan became a primary school teacher. In 1923 their only child, John Richard Lenehan, was born. Lenehan started to write detective stories in the evening, while still teaching in the day, a pattern of work that, as far as we know, continued for all of his writing life. In 1929 his first two novels were published by HerbertJenkins. " (from Promoting Crime Fiction).
