Harry Wicks
Harry Wicks (16 August 1905 – 26 March 1989) was a British socialist activist.
Born in Battersea, London, he went to work on the railways and joined the National Union of Railwaymen in 1919. He joined the Labour Party, but after Black Friday moved to the Communist Party of Great Britain (CPGB). After studying with A. E. E. Reade, he came to support Leon Trotsky and the International Left Opposition.
Elected to the executive of the Young Communist League in 1926, Wicks attended the International Lenin School in Moscow and the Sixth World Congress of the Comintern. He began working with the Balham Group of Trotskyists, and was expelled from the CPGB in 1932. He became a founding member of the Communist League and met Trotsky in Copenhagen but disagreed with Trotsky's advice to join the Independent Labour Party. The Communist League split with the tendency opposed to joining the ILP continuing as the Marxist League, which later worked within the Labour Party. He also chaired the British Committee for the Defence of Leon Trotsky. In 1936, Wicks and several others signed a letter to the ''Manchester Guardian'' defending Trotsky's right to asylum and calling for an international inquiry into the Moscow Trials. 〔The other signatories were: H. N. Brailsford, Conrad Noel, Frank Horrabin, Fred Shaw, Rowland Hill, Eleanor Rathbone, Reg Groves, Garry Allingham and Stuart Purkis. Robert J.
