support

Albon was 20 in 1916, and lived in Edmonton. He worked for the Post Office and was a member of the Union of Post Office Workers and also of the No-Conscription Fellowship. After his appeal as a CO was dismissed he was sent to Wormwood Scrubs, then Dyce Camp, and Dartmoor. In the 1930s he became a councillor in Edmonton on the Library, Education, and Finance committees. He was Chairman of the Peace Pledge Union branch in Edmonton. When Edmonton became a borough he was the last Council Chairman, not being interested in mayoral robes.
