NORMAN GAUDIE 1887 - 1954  

support

Norman Gaudie from East Bolton, County Durham, was a railway clerk and Congregationalist. Refused CO recognition, he was held by the army at Richmond Castle before being taken to France, where a court-martial formally sentenced him to death for disobedience, but immediately announced commutation to 10 years penal servitude, served at Winchester, Leeds, Maidstone and Wakefield, before early release in 1919. In happier times he was a noted footballer; his son Martyn was a WW2 CO.
