I did find his Bio to be very interesting
Some observations.......

"London University", does not really exist. It's a complex history, but basically there are a number of different institutions that award 'University of London degrees', and typically, if asked, an alumnus would say they went to one of those institutions by name. e.g. Kings College (London), Imperial College, Queen Mary's College etc.

"He joined the British Army from 1955 to 1957, where he served his country honorably earning the British General Service Medal and Suez Medal." There is no official 'Suez Medal'. The GSM for service in the Suez (or clasp for existing GSM holders) was awarded retrospectively in the early 2000s, following active lobbying by campaigners and Members of Parliament. It is only awarded to those who served in the Canal Zone from 1951-1954, so the dates do not work either.

"Clive, a true patriot, volunteered for the United States Army in 1969 and served for 11 years, including a tour in Vietnam as a Helicopter Pilot ". A non-US National can only join the US Military as an enlisted serviceman - not as a Warrant or Commissioned officer.
