Re Richard Edwards' statement that Lewis was "half-American":


Lewis writes:

"I was born an empire-builder, and was destined to be a
pukka sahib. My parents willed it so--they saw me at one
of the outposts of empire, shading my eyes against the
tropical sun, and stopping a rush of Afridis revolver in hand."

Lewis attended a British "public" school, and fought in the British army
during WWI.  See BLASTING AND BOMBARDIERING for details.
