Autographs of Alan Whicker
Donald Alan Whicker CBE (2 August 1921 – 12 July 2013) was a British journalist and television presenter and broadcaster. His career spanned almost 60 years, during which time he presented the documentary television programme Whicker's World for over 30 years. He was made a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in 2005 for services to broadcasting.
Whicker was born to British parents in Cairo, Egypt, in 1921. When he was two years old his father Charles, a British Army officer, became seriously ill with a heart problem and died. The family, now consisting of his mother Nancy, Alan and his elder sister Mary, moved to Richmond in Surrey. His sister soon died, too. He attended Haberdashers' Aske's Boys School, an all-boys independent boarding school, where he excelled at cross-country running.
During the Second World War he served in the British Army. He was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the Devonshire Regiment on 8 August 1942. He then joined the British Army's Army Film and Photographic Unit in Italy in 1943, filming at Anzio and meeting such influential figures as Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery. In March 1944, he was mentioned in despatches "in recognition of gallant and distinguished services in Sicily". He transferred to the Royal Army Ordnance Corps on 1 April 1945 with the war substantive rank of lieutenant.
