He had two older half-brothers, Harold and Horace, as well as two younger siblings, Beatrice and John. Basil was the great-grandson of the noted Victorian philanthropist, <a href="/wiki/William_Rathbone_V" title="William Rathbone V">William Rathbone V</a>, and thus a descendant of <a href="/wiki/William_Rathbone_II" title="William Rathbone II">William Rathbone II</a>.[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>] The Rathbones fled to Britain when Basil was three years old after his father was accused by the <a href="/wiki/Boer" class="mw-redirect" title="Boer">Boers</a> of being a spy following the <a href="/wiki/Jameson_Raid" title="Jameson Raid">Jameson Raid</a>. Rathbone attended <a href="/wiki/Repton_School" title="Repton School">Repton School</a> in <a href="/wiki/Derbyshire" title="Derbyshire">Derbyshire</a> from 1906 to 1910, where he excelled at sports and was given the nickname "Ratters" by schoolmates. Thereafter, he was briefly employed as an insurance clerk by the Liverpool and Globe Insurance Companies,<a href="#cite_note-1911census-3">[3]</a> to appease his father's wish for him to have a conventional career.<a href="#cite_note-4">[4]</a> On 22 April 1911, Rathbone made his first appearance on stage at the Theatre Royal, <a href="/wiki/Ipswich" title="Ipswich">Ipswich</a>, <a href="/wiki/Suffolk" title="Suffolk">Suffolk</a>, as Hortensio in <a href="/wiki/The_Taming_of_the_Shrew" title="The Taming of the Shrew">The Taming of the Shrew</a>, with his cousin <a href="/wiki/Frank_Benson_(actor)" title="Frank Benson (actor)">Sir Frank Benson</a>'s No. 2 Company, under the direction of <a href="/wiki/Henry_Herbert_(actor)" title="Henry Herbert (actor)">Henry Herbert</a>.

Returning to Britain, he made his first appearance in London at the <a href="/wiki/Savoy_Theatre" title="Savoy Theatre">Savoy Theatre</a> on 9 July 1914, as Finch in The Sin of David. That December, he appeared at the <a href="/wiki/Original_Shaftesbury_Theatre" class="mw-redirect" title="Original Shaftesbury Theatre">Shaftesbury Theatre</a> as the Dauphin in <a href="/wiki/Henry_V_(play)" title="Henry V (play)">Henry V</a>. During 1915, he toured with Benson and appeared with him at London's Court Theatre in December as Lysander in <a href="/wiki/A_Midsummer_Night%27s_Dream" title="A Midsummer Night's Dream">A Midsummer Night's Dream</a>. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Military_service">Military service</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Basil_Rathbone&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Military service">edit</a>]</div> During the First World War (in 1915), Rathbone was called up via the <a href="/wiki/Derby_Scheme" title="Derby Scheme">Derby Scheme</a> into the British Army as a private with the <a href="/wiki/London_Scottish_Regiment" class="mw-redirect" title="London Scottish Regiment">London Scottish Regiment</a>, joining a regiment that also included his future professional acting contemporaries <a href="/wiki/Claude_Rains" title="Claude Rains">Claude Rains</a>, <a href="/wiki/Herbert_Marshall" title="Herbert Marshall">Herbert Marshall</a> and <a href="/wiki/Ronald_Colman" title="Ronald Colman">Ronald Colman</a> at different points during the conflict. After basic training with the London Scots in early 1916, he received a commission as a lieutenant in the 2/10th Battalion of the King's Liverpool Regiment (<a href="/wiki/Liverpool_Scottish" title="Liverpool Scottish">Liverpool Scottish</a>), where he served as an intelligence officer, eventually attaining the rank of <a href="/wiki/Captain_(British_Army_and_Royal_Marines)" title="Captain (British Army and Royal Marines)">captain</a>.<a href="#cite_note-5">[5]</a> Rathbone was a two-time British Army Fencing Champion; a skill that served him well in the movies, it allowed him to teach swordsmanship to actors <a href="/wiki/Errol_Flynn" title="Errol Flynn">Errol Flynn</a> and <a href="/wiki/Tyrone_Power" title="Tyrone Power">Tyrone Power</a>. Rathbone was deeply affected by the news his younger brother John, a captain in the <a href="/wiki/Dorsetshire_Regiment" class="mw-redirect" title="Dorsetshire Regiment">Dorsetshire Regiment</a>, had been killed in action near <a href="/wiki/Arras" title="Arras">Arras</a> on 4 June 1918.<a href="#cite_note-6">[6]</a> In 2012, two letters Rathbone wrote to his family while serving on the <a href="/wiki/Western_Front_(World_War_I)" title="Western Front (World War I)">Western Front</a> were published. One reveals the anguish and anger he felt following the death of John: <blockquote>I want to tell him to mind his place. I think of his ridiculous belief that everything would always be well, his ever-hopeful smile, and I want to cuff him for a little fool. He had no business to let it happen and it maddens me that I shall never be able to tell him so, or change it or bring him back. I can't think of him without being consumed with anger at him for being dead and beyond anything I can do to him. <dl><dd>— 26 July 1918<a href="#cite_note-army-1">[1]</a></dd></dl></blockquote> Following his brother's death, Rathbone appears to have become unconcerned about the dangers of serving at the front. Author <a href="/wiki/Richard_Van_Emden" class="mw-redirect" title="Richard Van Emden">Richard Van Emden</a> in Famous 1914–18 speculates that his extreme bravery may have been a form of guilt or need for vengeance.<a href="#cite_note-7">[7]</a> He persuaded his superiors to allow him to scout enemy positions during daylight rather than at night, as was the usual practice to minimise the chance of detection.<a href="#cite_note-8">[8]</a> Rathbone wore a special camouflage suit that resembled a tree with a wreath of freshly plucked foliage on his head with burnt cork applied to his hands and face.<a href="#cite_note-9">[9]</a> As a result of these highly dangerous daylight reconnaissance missions in September 1918, he was awarded the <a href="/wiki/Military_Cross" title="Military Cross">Military Cross</a> for "conspicuous daring and resource on patrol".<a href="#cite_note-10">[10]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Career">Career</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Basil_Rathbone&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Career">edit</a>]</div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Theatre">Theatre</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Basil_Rathbone&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Theatre">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Rathbone-Barretts-of-Wimpole-Street.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/ac/Rathbone-Barretts-of-Wimpole-Street.jpg/170px-Rathbone-Barretts-of-Wimpole-Street.jpg" decoding="async" width="170" height="215" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/ac/Rathbone-Barretts-of-Wimpole-Street.jpg/255px-Rathbone-Barretts-of-Wimpole-Street.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/ac/Rathbone-Barretts-of-Wimpole-Street.jpg/340px-Rathbone-Barretts-of-Wimpole-Street.jpg 2x" data-file-width="600" data-file-height="760" /></a><figcaption>Rathbone as <a href="/wiki/Robert_Browning" title="Robert Browning">Robert Browning</a> in <a href="/wiki/Katharine_Cornell" title="Katharine Cornell">Katharine Cornell</a>'s 1933–1934 touring production of <a href="/wiki/The_Barretts_of_Wimpole_Street" title="The Barretts of Wimpole Street">The Barretts of Wimpole Street</a></figcaption></figure> During the Summer Festival of 1919, he appeared at <a href="/wiki/Stratford-upon-Avon" title="Stratford-upon-Avon">Stratford-upon-Avon</a> with the New Shakespeare Company playing Romeo, Cassius, Ferdinand in <a href="/wiki/The_Tempest" title="The Tempest">The Tempest</a> and Florizel in <a href="/wiki/The_Winter%27s_Tale" title="The Winter's Tale">The Winter's Tale</a>; in October he was at London's <a href="/wiki/Sondheim_Theatre" title="Sondheim Theatre">Queen's Theatre</a> as the aide de camp in Napoleon, and in February 1920 he was at the <a href="/wiki/Savoy_Theatre" title="Savoy Theatre">Savoy Theatre</a> in the title role in <a href="/wiki/Peter_Ibbetson_(play)" title="Peter Ibbetson (play)">Peter Ibbetson</a> with huge success.

When asked who could possibly play Holmes, Markey incredulously replied, "Who?! Basil Rathbone!" The film was so successful that Fox produced a sequel that appeared later in 1939.

Conway and Bruce carried on with the series for two seasons, until both dropped out in July 1947.
