Defence Regulation 18B in June 1940.
"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
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.

between these two references are still closed.
[Saunders] Robert Saunders O.B.E. was BU District Leader for Dorset West and was
interned. His branch correspondence records survived in almost complete form and were
donated to the Library of Sheffield University where they are known as the Robert Saunders
Papers. There is also substantial wartime and post-War correspondence with other
detainees whom Saunders met during his internment and these have been used to confirm
several names.
[SF] Suspects Files : Newly opened Home Office files at the National Archives for the period
1940-1944 containing lists of ‘suspects’ to be immediately detained in the event of a German
invasion of Great Britain. Many of these ‘suspects’ are described as having been members
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
(ie. KV2/886).
[Simpson] In 1992 English-born Professor A. W. Brian Simpson of Michigan University
(currently Charles F. & Edith J. Clyne Professor of Law at the Law School) published the
definitive study of Regulation 18B entitled "In the Highest Degree Odious" (Oxford University
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
campaigned for the release of detainees. The Stokes Papers are held at the Bodlein Library,
Oxford.
[Swan] Arthur W. Swan was BU District Treasurer of Lowestoft and was interned. He
became the Camp Leader at Ascot Camp (of all 18B internees: not only those who were
British Union members). He supplied names by letter during the early 1990s of BU internees
working from memory and notes taken at the time.
[The Blackshirt] One of British Union's pre-war weekly newspapers 1933-39. Copies are
held at the British Museum Newspaper Library at Colindale in London.
[The Word] An anarchist newspaper that opposed Regulation 18B published by the
Strickland Press during the Second World War. It published a list of detainees' names and
their military records in the First World War.
[TNA] The National Archives at Kew contains a number of personal files on members of
British Union detained under Regulation 18B and many other detainees names are
mentioned in other files containing Home Office, MI5, Special Branch and Police records for
the period 1939 to 1945. These are mainly to be found in the HO45, HO144 and MEPO2
series.
[Turner] David Turner wrote 'Fascism and Anti-Fascism in Medway Towns' which was
published in 1995. It mentions several local detainees.
[Union] This was a newspaper of the post-War Union Movement founded by Sir Oswald
Mosley. Union was published from 1948 until 1959. It contains the obituaries of many pre-
War members and records their detention under 18B. Copies are held at the British Museum
Newspaper Library at Colindale in London.
[Warburton] John Warburton was a member of British Union Clapham branch, of which he
was Assistant District Leader, and Battersea branch. He was not detained. During the War
he served with the Queens West Surreys. He spent many years collecting the names of 18B
detainees from many different sources.
[Watts] Charlie Watts was British Union District Leader for Westminster St Georges and was
detained. After his release he wrote the memoirs of his early period of detention in Ascot in
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
detention he recorded in a school exercise book the names of every detainee with whom he
came into contact.
[Williams] J. A. 'Bill' Williams was District Treasurer of the Newcastle-on-Tyne branch of
British Union. He was interned along with his father. 'Bill' Williams' short memoirs contain
names of fellow detainees and these have been added to this list.
[Wise] Leonard Wise was a Cadet Leader and District Leader of British Union and was
detained. He recalled the names of several fellow detainees by letter in the early 1990s.
[Wiseman] Frank Wiseman was BU District Treasurer for Worcester branch and was a
music teacher at Worcester Cathedral School. He was detained. The Wiseman Papers are
held by the Library of the Imperial War Museum.
[Wynn] John Wynn was an RFC Pilot during the First World War and became an active
member of British Union. He was detained. After his release during the Second World War
he edited the now classic 'IT CAN HAPPEN TO YOU' with Guy Aldred. He also wrote his
memoirs which are held at Sheffield University Library. Both works contain references to 18B
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.
