Paula Rego husband: Who was Victor Willing?

Victor Willing, the sole son of George Willing, a professional soldier, and his wife Irene Cynthia Tomkins, was born in Alexandria, Egypt.

He spent the first four years of his life there, as well as a brief period in Malta.

When his father returned to the UK, he was assigned to several locations throughout southern England, including the Isle of Wight and Bordon, Hampshire.

As a result, Willing’s schooling was disrupted until the family relocated to Guildford, Surrey, where he was able to attend The Royal Grammar School from 1940 until 1945.
