Harris spent the following 25 years giving vigorous command at Army evangelical corps in Great Britain -- including Margate, Croydon, and Exeter (whereas Area Commander he, along with his wife, had responsibility for 12 corps in Devon.) They also were corps officers at the famous "Rink" - Regent Hall, in London's Oxford Street.

Before entering the Army's International Training College, London, England, in 1947, Wesley Harris was on the staff of the Cardiff Western Mail newspaper; and by maintaining journalistic contributions to Salvation Army periodicals through the year, qualified himself for his appointment in 1977 as Editor-in-Chief at The Salvation Army International Headquarters.  As well as being Editor of The War Cry (to which chair he was appointed in 1976) as Editor-in-Chief he had overall responsibility for Army periodicals which in Britain alone sold half-a-million copies per issue.
