Sir Harry Secombe - Honorary Welsh Gunner and Beloved Entertainer
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, we are transported back to the year 1976, where Sir Harry Secombe is being bestowed with a great honor at Raglan Barracks in Newport, Mon. Dressed impeccably in his military uniform, Sir Harry stands tall beside one of the ceremonial guns belonging to the esteemed 22nd Light Air Defence R. R. , also known as The Welsh Gunners. Known for his comedic genius as part of "The Goons" and his remarkable singing talent, Sir Harry's contribution to entertainment was widely celebrated. However, it is through this photograph that we witness another facet of his life – his connection to the armed forces. This honorary title serves as a testament to both his personal achievements and dedication towards Wales. As he gazes into the distance with pride and humility, one can't help but admire Sir Harry's commitment not only to bringing joy through laughter and song but also for embracing an important role within the army community. The Western Mail Archive has beautifully captured this significant moment in time when two worlds collide - comedy meets duty. This poignant image reminds us that behind every entertainer lies a multifaceted individual whose impact extends beyond their chosen craft. It immortalizes Sir Harry Secombe's legacy as an honorary Welsh Gunner while paying tribute to all those who have served their country with honor and distinction.
