F. Henry Edwards
Francis Henry Edwards (4 August 1897 – 1 December 1991) was a British leader in the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (RLDS Church). Edwards was an apostle and a member of the church's Council of Twelve Apostles from 1922 to 1946 and was a member of the First Presidency from 1946 to 1966.
==Early life and imprisonment==
Edwards was born to a Latter Day Saint family in Birmingham, England.〔Paul M. Edwards (1995). ''F. Henry Edwards: Articulator of the Church'' (Independence, Mo.: Herald House) ISBN 0-8309-0704-1.〕 During the First World War Edwards, as a conscientious objector, refused to serve in the British military when conscripted. Having been denied recognition by his local Military Service Tribunal, he was arrested, brought before the Magistrates' Court and handed over to the army. At a court-martial in Worcester on 21 December 1916 he was sentenced to 112 days imprisonment with hard labour, which he served in Wormwood Scrubs. On release back to the army he was sentenced to a longer term, but was finally released in 1919 after having spent over two years in prison.〔Andrew Bolton, , ''Fellowship: A Magazine of Peacemaking'', May–June 2003. Bolton claims, with no source cited, that Edwards was sentenced to death, with the sentence commuted. However, the report of Edwards' court-martial in the Catherine Marshall Archive, Cumbria Record Office, ref D/Mar/4/97, does not corroborate this. The 35 British conscientious objectors who were sentenced to death were all sentenced in June 1916, five months prior to Edwards' arrest in about November 1916. The 35 were also sentenced in France, and there is no record of Edwards ever having been taken to France by the military; Edwards also does not appear in the list of the 35 conscientious objectors sentenced to death. For a brief account of the death sentences episode, with five of the conscientious objectors named, see (ppu.org ); for a fuller account, with 16 of the individuals named, see Will Ellsworth-Jones: ''We Will Not Fight'', Aurum, 2008; for the complete list of the conscientious objectors sentenced to death, see the interactive CD ''Voices for Peace'', obtainable from the ppu.org.〕
