 News | (Archibald) Fenner Brockway MP, later Lord Brockway (KV 2/1917-1921)
Brockway, 1888-1988, was a life-long campaigner in his chosen causes, of which his most firmly held, pacifism and the cause of conscientious objection to warfare, was the one that brought him to MI5 attention during the First World War.
Brockway was then editor of The Labour Leader, the organ of the Independent Labour Party (ILP), which was publishing anti-conflict pieces.
As in the First World War, Brockway´s position during the Second (for which he was too old for combat duty) was to support conscientious objectors, though he himself now had doubts about the correctness of this choice in the face of European Fascism and Nazism.
