Although these 2 videos have been circulating for some time, and been re-uploaded by several other you tube users, I have uploaded these now as a tribute to ' The Ancient Warrior' as he campaigns through his 101st year! Harry Beckhough was a wartime code breaker at Bletchley Park. He was in Germany at the outbreak of the war and witnessed the Hitler rising and the burning of the books, a scene we are familiar with through film coverage At the end of the war, as a Lt. Col. Harry was transferred to the Foreign Office where he was overseer of the the 'de - nazification' and intellectual rebuilding of the German Rhineland Universities - Cologne and Bonn. Harry covers this part of his colourful life in his book 'Thinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy' At the end of the war Harry was living in Cologne and it was there the early 50's he founded the 'Double Two' shirt company. Harry also founded a school which is still running successfully today. In recent years Harry was Chairman of the Marlborough Research Group. As a centenarian in 2014 the 'Ancient Warrior' is still active and making good use of his computer!
