During The War
Immediately after the outbreak of war he met with the leaders of other groups such as the Nordic League, the Right Club, The Link and the British Peoples Party in a failed attempt to organise a united front under Mosley. Although he volunteered for war service Francis Hawkins was arrested along with Mosley and others under the first wave of Defence Regulation 18B swoops in 1940. Held in internment in Stafford and Brixton prisons for much of the war, he was released in 1944 and concentrated on his business interests.

Famous quotes containing the word war:
“Come Vitus, are we men, or are we children? Of what use are all these melodramatic gestures? You say your soul was killed, and that you have been dead all these years. And what of me? Did we not both die here in Marmaros fifteen years ago? Are we any the less victims of the war than those whose bodies were torn asunder? Are we not both the living dead?”
—Peter Ruric, and Edgar G. Ulmer. Hjalmar Poelzig (Boris Karloff)
