Sy Scholfield quotes William Rees-Mogg, "Memoirs" (London: HarperCollins, 2011), p. 5: "I was born in the Pembroke Nursing Home, Bristol, England, of an American mother and an English father, on 14 July 1928. . . . In consequence I was born at about 4 a.m. on Bastille Day, France's national holiday, and knew as a child that my birthday was a special day of celebration."
