basic biography
Major Warren "Warnie" Lewis was born in Ireland in 1895. Early on, his mother died and he was never the same. His father almost ignored him after that, and his only solace was his brother. At first they were nearly inseparable, but by school days it became apparent their interests were very different.
In college (high school), Warren loved sports and was an avid player. He watched in confusion as his younger brother spent his days in misery.
Warren was in WWI and also went to university. His passion was for Louis XIV history and he wrote several books on the subject. Unfortunately, he was often depressed through his life and became an avid alcoholic.
Other details of his life are rather sketchy, which is a pity as he was a truly great man. He died shortly after his brother.
