Ken Cox G.M.
Ken Cox is an alternative energy thinker and inventor. He served his country throughout the 2nd World War and suffered the anguish of having married a German girl by his own people in England after the War. Mr. Cox endured this experience but was put through great hardship. He was awarded the George Medal for saving many lives whilst being young. People like Mr. Cox who have given so much are at the very heart of what the WIF is trying to do for the world-at-large. Indeed, he sees like the Foundation that we have to create a better world for our children and all future generations, UK.
