Over the course of the following years, C.S. attended Campbell College Belfast, as well as Cherbourg School, Malvern England. He also studied under a private tutor, and won a scholarship to University College, Oxford, where he began his studies in 1917.

C.S. enlisted in the British Army during World War I. He became an officer in the 3rd Battalion, Somerset Light Infantry, and was wounded on Mount Berenchon during the Battle of Arras in 1918 and was discharged in December of the same year.

After completing his studies, C.S. served as a tutor at University College, Magdalen College, Oxford and Magdalen College, Cambridge, among others.

From 1933-1949, C.S. and a group of friends (including J.R.R. Tolkien and many others), met three times a week. They dubbed themselves "The Inklings".

C.S. was awarded an honory Doctor of Divinity by the University of St. Andrews in 1946, the same year he was passed over for Merton professorship of English Literature at Oxford.

He married long-time friend Joy Davidman Gresham in 1956. Joy died from cancer in 1960. C.S. himself lasted only three more years himself. He died just one week before his 65th birthday, on November 22, 1963, the very same day American president John F. Kennedy was assassinated. C.S. Lewis is buried in the yard of the Holy Trinity Church in Headington Quarry, Oxford.
