Harris, Edward Sewell

Edward Sewell Harris (b. 1895) attended St John's College, Cambridge. A conscientious objector, he was initially exempt from war service because of heart trouble, but eventually court-martialled in Dec. 1916 and imprisoned at Wormwood Scrubs. He was court-martialled again in Apr. 1917 and imprisoned at Canterbury. He was court-martialled a third time and eventually released from Canterbury Prison circa June 1919.
