Harry Rosenberg was the son of a small shopkeeper in East Ham, UK. He left school at 16 and went into the Civil Service in a clerical post. He was called up and served throughout the war in the RAF working on radio which he had studied in his spare time. On demobilization he was given a further education, a training grant, and studied at University College London (UCL).
