Peace Pledge Union

Pacifist movement founded in 1936 by Canon Dick Sheppard (1880-1937). It grew rapidly in the late 1930s, attracting support from Bertrand Russell and Vera Brittain, and by 1940 had a membership of about 140,000. Support rapidly fell away after the invasion of the Low Countries and France.
