ANDREW EDWARD CLARKE WHITE 1882 -

ANDREW E.C. WHITE
In his Presbyterian youth White won trophies for marksmanship and joined the Boys Brigade. When his Glasgow firm transferred him to London he became involved with Quakers, joining in social activities such as rambling, and the Adult Schools movement. Married and living in Kilmarnock, he refused a job with Nobel’s Explosive Works because of its military application. He started the local branch of the No-Conscription Fellowship and, though working in the essential building trade, claimed exemption as a CO. Under the ‘cat and mouse’ system he served four prison sentences lasting over two years, and was released in 1919.
