During World War II he served as private and later a sergeant in the Gordon Highlanders where he helped run the theatrical entertainment group, the Balmorals. After the war he rejoined the Evening News, becoming a feature writer in 1946, the deputy drama critic later that same year, and the chief critic in 1958. In 1960, Barker expanded his work to include film criticism, making him one of the few critics at the time who was working in both theatre and film.[2] He became the president of The Critics' Circle in 1974. Throughout his career as a critic, Barker also established himself as an author and historian, publishing such works as The Oliviers (1953), The House that Stoll Built (1957), London: 2000 Years of a City and its People (1974, with Peter Jackson), London as it Might Have Been (1975, with Ralph Hyde),[4] and The History of London in Maps (1990, with Peter Jackson). His final book was Edwardian London, published in 1995.
