Harold Sherwood Spencer
Harold Sherwood Spencer (born 1890, date of death unknown) was an American-born British anti-homosexuality and antisemitic activist during and after World War I. He was closely associated with Noel Pemberton Billing and Lord Alfred Douglas.
==Early life==
Born in 1890, Spencer was a native of the U.S. state of Wisconsin, but his family were British. He studied at the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, where he was noted for his active cultural interests. Shortly after leaving he married a countess who was "nearly twice his age", but the relationship was short lived.〔 After a "stormy encounter in a New York hotel", the couple separated.〔''The Ottawa Journal'', Ottawa, Canada, June 3, 1918, p.13.〕 He subsequently travelled widely with the rank of midshipman, and worked occasionally as a war correspondent.〔
He volunteered to serve in the British army during World War I. He was commissioned into the Royal Field Artillery in 1915, rising to the rank of Captain. He served on three fronts and became involved with the British Secret Service.〔Toni Bentley, ''Sisters of Salome'', University of Nebraska Press, Lincoln, NE., 2005, p.76.〕 However, his increasing obsession with the idea that the Germans were conspiring to sexually corrupt British civilians led to his being invalided out of the army in 1917 on grounds of mental instability, diagnosed with "paranoid delusional insanity."〔Philip Hoare, ''Oscar Wilde's Last Stand: Decadence, Conspiracy, and the Most Outrageous Trial of the Century'', (New York: Arcade Pub., 1998), ISBN 1-55970-423-3, p.57〕
