Poems he wrote during the 1944 Normandy landings were published for the first time in 2012 by Kultura Press with the assistance of Tim Crook, a researcher at Goldsmiths College who was working on a biography of Wilson's father, the writer and spy Alexander Wilson.[1] His mother was Alexander Wilson's first wife, Gladys.[1]
He had two siblings, and had four half-siblings through his polygamous father's further three marriages.[2]
In 2018, he was depicted by the actor Patrick Kennedy in the BBC drama about Alexander Wilson, Mrs Wilson. Also appearing in the series was his real-life niece, actress Ruth Wilson, portraying her grandmother.
Wilson turned 100 in June 2021,[3] and died on 28 June 2022, at the age of 101.[4]
