The DNB has him as Henry's cousin rather than nephew. Jackiespeel (talk) 15:59, 5 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

Unconscious pacifist edit

I found this, while researching Bertrand Russell and the first world war. http://theamericanscholar.org/i-tried-to-stop-the-bloody-thing/#.U8_AS9Eg_m4

"The activists of the NCF scored a rhetorical point when, in the course of one legal case, a lawyer on the government side, Sir Archibald Bodkin (later notorious as the man who would get James Joyce’s Ulysses banned from publication in postwar England) protested angrily that “war will become impossible if all men were to have the view that war is wrong.” Delighted, the NCF issued a poster with exactly those words on it, credited to Bodkin. The government then convicted an NCF member for putting up this subversive poster. In response, the NCF’s lawyer demanded the arrest of Bodkin himself, as author of the offending words. The organization’s newspaper called for Bodkin to prosecute himself, and declared that the group would provide relief payments to his wife and children if he sent himself to jail".

Can any one cross reference confirm its true so I can use it in the article. User Ruskin (talk) 16:15, 23 July 2014 (UTC)Reply
