Early life and military career
Miles was born on August 10, 1936. He grew up in Falmouth, Cornwall. His father, Nigel Messervy, was a secret service agent and served as head of MI6. His mother, Sarah, was a Welsh journalist and writer. Miles was brought up in a wealthy family as his father was high ranking in the secret service and a decorated veteran of World War II. In fact, Miles remembers when his father served in the war and when it ended. He was nine years old when the war ended.

When Miles was seventeen, he joined the British Army. He fought in British Kenya when the military intervened in the Mau Mau Uprising, during the fifties. He had even served as a guard in Kiritho, a village where Mau Mau rebels were detained and the village was kept under watch by the British.

Miles also served in British Cyprus, fighting the Greek Cypriot nationalist group, EOKA. During the Cold War and the era of decolonization, he also fought insurgents in Oman. By that time, in the sixties, he had become an intelligence agent.
