What is recorded here
Harold Franklyn was born in County Cork, Ireland, on 28 November 1885, entering the world inside the same military lineage as his father, William Franklyn. That Irish birthplace gave a future British general his first breath before Rugby, Sandhurst, and two world wars shaped the rest of his life.
Why this person is known: British Army General (1885–1963)
