Walter Glynne

Walter Glynne (4 January 1890 – 29 July 1970) was a Welsh operatic and concert tenor who was also a popular recording artist. 
Thomas Glyn Walters was born at Loughor, Glamorgan, the oldest of five children of Elizabeth née Jones and David Walters, a farmer of Gowerton, Glamorganshire. He attended Gowerton Grammar School following which he worked as a bank clerk before pursuing a musical career. In 1910 he was awarded a scholarship to the Royal College of Music (RCM), where he concentrated on singing German lieder. 
On graduating from the RCM he was engaged as the principal tenor with the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company with whom he toured from March to December 1915 in Gilbert and Sullivan operas as Ralph Rackstraw in H.M.S. Pinafore, Tolloller in Iolanthe, Hilarion in Princess Ida and Colonel Fairfax in The Yeomen of the Guard. He then left the D'Oyly Carte to join the Artists' Rifles during World War I while continuing to sing in concerts in London until he obtained a commission in the Welsh Guards.
