Harry Dagnall
Edit Profile
Career
He was educated at The King"s School, Canterbury and King"s College London. Harry"s heyday as a philatelic writer was in the 1970s and 80"s and his work was mostly in the form of pamphlets and short monographs on diverse subjects which caught his attention. His history of the British government Stamp Office, however, Creating a Good Impression, was a longer work published by Her Majesty Stationery Office in 1994 to coincide with their 300th anniversary.
In 1991, Harry"s sight began to seriously fail and he gave up active philately at that time, though he continued to write as much as he could.
A bibliography of his work was prepared during his lifetime by Ian Doctorate. Crane for private circulation and a bound copy was placed in the library of the Royal. Outside philately, Harry was a technical writer in the patent department of the British Tabulating Machine Company which became Information and communications technology and International Computers Limited. He made frequent contributions to The Communicator, the journal of the Institute of Scientific and Technical Communications and also wrote on architecture, Biblical history and xerographic printing.
