Alice Wheeldon

Alice Wheeldon

Mrs Alice Ann Wheeldon (27 January 1866 - 21 February 1919) was a member of the Independent Labour Party, pacifist and anti-war campaigner. She was arrested in 1917 along with her family and imprisoned. Evidence given in the case against them appears to have been fabricated by "a government eager to disgrace the antiwar movement".
