Summary

Born in Liverpool to Harry and Malka “Queenie” Epstein on September 19, 1934, Brian Samuel Epstein had been educated at a succession of schools before settling upon Wrekin College in Shropshire. In 1950, Epstein entered the business world as a furniture salesman in his father Harry’s prosperous department store on Walton Road. His time in the department store was cut short after he was conscripted into the National Service, for which he only served one year of his expected two-year term. At one point, he was charged with impersonating an officer after being saluted, incorrectly, by a sentry. As a result, he was confined to barracks and later discharged on “medical grounds.”
