Fenner Brockway was born in Calcutta in 1888. In his remarkable long life (he died just 6 months before his 100th birthday) he experienced some of the most significant, and horrific, events in 20th century history: two world wars, the Cold War, the development of nuclear weapons. For over 80 years he worked in every way he could to promote peace.

A natural rebel
Fenner Brockway’s parents were Christian missionaries working in India, but they sent their son home to England for his education. ‘The only thing I learned to do well at school was play Rugby football.’ He was a natural rebel, and by the time he was 16 he was spending his homework hours writing political pamphlets complete with covers of his own design. ‘There was only one other boy who ever read them, but I got a lot of satisfaction out of them myself.’
