大象传媒

Eric Warr was my father (I am his son, Hilary Warr) and I know almost nothing about his time as Assistant Chief Censor at the 大象传媒 during the war. He must have signed the Official Secrets Act and so was always vague about his work to my mother. I was born in 1943 and I now wish I had pressed him further about his war work.
I am convinced he had connections with Bletchley Park, and my mother told me that he had a special telephone line to the Cabinet War Rooms - it was the white telephone, apparantly, which I have seen there. He also dealt with the American Liason Unit and in so doing became a great friend of the American War Correspondent, Edward R. Murrow, who became my Godfather. I am only just starting on this research journey and do not know really where to start. I was hoping to contact some sort of archive department at the 大象传媒 but have ended up at this web-site. So this is the end of my father's "story" until such time as someone somewhere can tell me more. I do know that he was on thirty-six hour duty and that he had a bed in the basement of Broadcasting House...he befriended a mouse there as a pet. My father was born in 1905 but is now of course dead, as so is my mother. I have no brothers or sisters.
(Mr.) Hilary Warr
