Autographs of Gilbert Harding

Gilbert Charles Harding (5 June 1907 – 16 November 1960) was a British journalist and radio and television personality. His many careers included schoolmaster, journalist, policeman, disc jockey, actor, interviewer and television presenter. He also appeared in several films, sometimes in character parts but usually as himself – for example in Expresso Bongo (1959).
Harding had a sizeable role alongside John Mills in the 1952 film The Gentle Gunman, and narrated the introduction to the film Pacific Destiny (1956). He also made a couple of comedy records in the 1950s.
Harding was born in Hereford where his parents, Gilbert Harding and May King, were employed as "master" and "matron" of the city's workhouse. His father died in 1911 at the age of thirty following an appendicitis operation, and so his mother sent their son to board at the Royal Orphanage of Wolverhampton, "an excellent academy" which prepared him for his subsequent education at Queens' College, Cambridge. Due to the circumstances of his upbringing, Harding was fond of the "half-true" claim to have been "born in a workhouse and educated in an orphanage". His paternal grandparents, Gilbert William and Mary Priscilla Harding, were superintendents of the Children's Home at Caerleon, Newport, Wales; his maternal grandfather, Charles King, was in charge of the Hereford Union Workhouse, having previously worked at the workhouse in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire.
