MARK CYMBALIST 1895  

support

Conscientious Objectors often found their convictions and dedication to social change grew during their wartime experiences. In Mark Cymbalist’s case, he applied to the Stoke Newington tribunal as a socialist against what he saw as a capitalist war. As in the case of many other Socialist COs, his application was rejected and, as an absolutist, he would spend much of the war in prison in Wormwood Scrubs and on the Home Office Scheme at Knutsford camp. Many COs in the Home Office Centre work camps found that they were lively venues of political and religious meetings, and there are many accounts of debates, arguments and discussions at camps. Mark came out of the Home Office Scheme a dedicated Communist. After the war he helped to establish the Inverness branch of the National Unemployed Workers Movement and became a noted figure in Scottish politics for years afterwards.
