"To speak his thoughts is every freeman's right, In peace and war, in council and in fight" - Alexander

Pope, 1688-1744

Overview

During the Second World War, the British Government introduced Defence Regulation 18B which

suspended the right of Habeas Corpus for the first time since Magna Carta.

The new Regulation allowed British citizens to be imprisoned without charge, trial or right of judicial

appeal if the Home Secretary considered that their continued liberty was not in the national interest

during wartime. The main detentions occurred in two phases, September 1939 and May/June 1940,

although some 18B orders continued to be issued long after this latter date. A large number of these

orders were directed against members of the British Union of Fascists and National Socialists.

The Government did not make public the full list of names of members who were interned though the

total number of detainees was reported to Parliament as "About 700" (Parl. Deb. Volume 376 House

of Commons C 849-52) and to the War Cabinet as "753" (CAB 65/10 WM(40)). In 1987 a

spokesperson for the Home Office confirmed that the total number of British Union members detained

was not recorded in Home Office files. A small number of names of those who were arrested was

announced in the national and local press at the time.

The list that follows contains the names of those British citizens who are believed to have been

detained under Regulation 18B who were, or had been, members of the British Union. It has been

compiled from many sources and is probably incomplete. It is also acknowledged that the list may

contain inaccuracies though every effort has been made to avoid these. In a small number of cases,

the names are of individuals who are not confirmed as being detained because of British Union

Page 3: 18b Detainees List - Oswald Mosley › wp-content › uploads › ... · the Isle of Man where they were photographed in 1941 by a non-interned BU District Leader serving with the

membership but where the balance of evidence seems to indicate that they were. These are

described as 'Probably British Union'.

The deciding factors concerning who was to be detained under Regulation 18B were far from

consistent: many relatively insignificant members were detained whilst some important members

escaped detention completely. However, this list of those who were detained is likely to represent a

fair cross section of the more active membership and gives some indication of the kind of people who

supported Mosley's brand of fascism during the late 1930s.

Alongside each name will be found the principle source, or sources, of evidence. The source only

indicates evidence that the person was interned and that they were, or had been, members of the

British Union: any other information listed about the individuals in this list is not necessarily derived

from the source.

British Union detainees photographed in the Isle of Man Internment Camp.

More than one thousand active members of British Union were detained under Regulation 18B for

opposing the Second World War in which 60-million people died. Many of them were imprisoned on

the Isle of Man where they were photographed in 1941 by a non-interned BU District Leader serving

with the RAF stationed on the Isle of Man. He was smuggled into the Camp with his camera in an

empty drum, took these photographs and escaped the same way.

Holloway Prison Detainees

Whilst in Holloway Prison in 1940, Heather Donovan asked other Regulation 18B women detainees to

autograph some blank pages in a book of Rupert Brooke poems. They signed under the heading 'WE

WILL ACKNOWLEDGE NO DEFEAT' and Lady Mosley was the first to add her name. Notable

signatures on these two pages include racing driver Fay Taylour, former suffragette Norah Elam, Lady

Domvile and Anne Brock Griggs (Chief Women’s Organiser of BU until February 1940).

The above report in the 'Daily Mirror' of 24 May 1940 followed the arrest of leading Fascists at their

National Head Quarters in Great Smith Street, Westminster. Here we see Olive Burdett (born Hawks),

the Chief Women’s Organiser of BU from February 1940, being led away - also her husband

Frederick Burdett, BU District Leader for Peckham, giving a last defiant salute.

Even his greatest opponents admitted that Oswald Mosley was a powerful public speaker. In this

photograph above taken at the end of a speech in south London in 1938, British Union supporters in

Southwark salute the man on the van whom they believed would be able to prevent the bloodshed of

another 'Great War'.

The day before the Second World War was declared, Mosley issued an instruction to all members of

British Union telling them that if they were in the armed services they should obey their conditions of

service. In the event of a German invasion, he ordered all members not to rest until the foreigner had

been driven from British soil. Many BU members died in the armed services in the War and the

names of some have been posted on www.oswaldmosley.com

The above photograph shows Sir Oswald Mosley at a Blackshirt rally in London’s Hyde Park in 1934.

Behind him stands the ‘I’ Squad (Defence Force), a special detachment formed to prevent political

opponents breaking up Blackshirt meetings. On the far left of the front row is Eric Hamilton Piercy,

Officer-in-Charge of the ‘I’ Squad.

In June 1940, Piercy was one of many small boat owners who answered the Government’s call to

rescue the British Expeditionary Force from the beaches of Dunkirk where it faced annihilation by

German forces. Piercy’s motor boat, the ‘Advance’, had the distinction of being the very first to reach

Dunkirk and rescue British troops. In all Piercy and his boat saved over 500 men.

Despite being machine-gunned by German Stuka dive bombers, Piercy and another Blackshirt, Colin

Dick, brought the damaged ‘Advance’ safely back to Dover. On their return, Piercy and Dick were

both detained and imprisoned under Regulation 18B as the British Government considered their

loyalty to Britain to be suspect in time of war.

The original issue of The Defence Regulation 18B British Union Detainees List was produced in May

1997. It included the names of all known members and supporters of the British Union of Fascists, led

by Sir Oswald Mosley, who were detained under Defence Regulation 18B during the Second World

War (1939-45). This original list was replaced in May 2001 by a Second Issue which included the

names of many newly discovered British Union detainees. As a result of Freedom of Information

(FOI), which became effective in the U.K. on 2 January 2005, a large number of further British Union

detainees have been discovered.

This brings the total numbers of British Union members known to have been detained under Defence

Regulation 18B to 1054. This includes 985 'definitely BU' and 69 'probably BU'. The number is in

excess of the approximate 700 detainees admitted to in Parliament at the time.

of British Union who had been released from detention under Regulation 18B. The files are

to be found between HO45/25568 and HO45/25572 inclusive. The Suspects Files are based

on regions within Great Britain but the file for London is missing. As London was the largest

centre of both population and British Union activity it would certainly yield a large number of

further names. We would like to thank the National Archives, the Home Office, MI5 and the

London Metropolitan Archive for their kindness and courtesy in looking for the lost file even

though the search was unsuccessful. A small number of further names have been found in

other files at the National Archives and in these cases the individual file reference is given

Press). This was the culmination of several years of research. The list of British Union

detainees that Professor Simpson made during the course of his studies has been included

in this present list. Professor Simpson's sources included the archives of the Law Society

and the Public Record Office.

[Stokes Papers] The papers of Richard Stokes, wartime Labour Member of Parliament, who

which he mentions the names of other British Blackshirts who were also interned. His

unpublished manuscript is entitled 'It Has Happened Here'.

[Whitbread] Harry Whitbread was a Brixton member of British Union and was detained.

[Whittleton] Eric Harvey Whittleton was a member of Ealing branch of BU. During his

detention he acquired three cartoons that were autographed by fellow internees. These

included some non-BU detainees such as Frank Bascombe, a Black 18B detainee, and A.

Kuchinsky, a Jewish 18B detainee.

[Wilkinson] Robert Wilkinson was British Union District Leader for Lincoln. During his

detainees.

[York] In the latter part of 1940 an '18B Club' was formed by British and Italian detainees at

the York Internment Camp. Their 'Ledger' consisted of signatures of Club members written

on the back of an advertising show card for cigarettes. It was still in the possession of W.

Woods, a member of the 18B Club, when he was contacted in the early 1990s.
