| Description: |
John Ross CAMPBELL, alias CARLIN, WOOD: British. CAMPBELL was awarded the Military Medal in the First World War, when he served in the RNVR. A lifetime Communist and a journalist by profession, he may have worked briefly as a messenger for a variety of Russian enterprises in London in the 1920s. He was one of those imprisoned in 1926 in the aftermath of the raid on Communist Party HQ. In 1939, together with Harry Pollitt, he opposed the Party line against the war with Germany. He later unsuccessfully stood twice for Parliament as a Communist and rose to become Editor of the Daily Worker in 1949 |
