Lang Syne English Family Information History Fact Book - Wilkinson

A name that resonates throughout the historical record, ‘Wilkinson’ has been present in the British Isles since at least the eleventh century.

Many of the name were to be found on the bloody field of battle, while others have gained distinction through pursuits ranging from enterprise and the sciences to sport and the creative arts.

No fewer than four bearers of the name have been recipients of the Victoria Cross (VC), the highest award for valour in the face of enemy action for British and Commonwealth forces.

In the highly hazardous world of clandestine warfare, Peter Wilkinson was the daring British army officer who served during the Second World War as a member of the Special Operations Executive (SOE) – the secret unit that specialised in daring acts of espionage, sabotage and assassination in Nazi-occupied Europe.

The exploits and achievements of the Wilkinsons are presented here.
