October 1928 to November 2020

London CND was sad to hear that Jim Radford died in November. Aged 92, he was a well-known figure on the London CND scene – a Veterans for Peace activist and a member of Lewisham and Greenwich CND. As a singer song-writer, Jim participated in many Hiroshima commemorations and other activities around the capital. Paul Steele and Helen Martins whose obituary appears in the December issue of Peace News, point out that he was the youngest known participant in the Normandy landings and recounted his experiences in a song he wrote, The Shores of Normandy. His death is a loss to the peace movement; he will be missed by many.
