Further Information:

Additional Information: Harry was just 19 years old when he was arrested as an accomplice to Lilian Lenton in 1913 for burning down an empty house in Doncaster. He was sentenced to one year in prison with hard labour but was released temporarily under the 'Cat and Mouse Act' after going on hunger strike, and fled. Little is known about Harry's life, but he was probably a member of the Men's Political Union (MPU), a militant men's suffrage society.
