Edward Lionel Terry (1873 – 20 August 1952) was a New Zealand white supremacist and murderer, incarcerated in psychiatric institutions after murdering a Chinese immigrant, Mr. Joe Kum Yung, in Wellington, New Zealand in 1905. ==Life before New Zealand== Edward Lionel Terry was born in Sandwich, Kent in 1873. He was the son of Edward Terry and Frances Thompson. His father was a prosperous corn merchant in Kent, and later managed Pall Mall Real Estate. He was educated at Merton College in Wimbledon. He worked initially for the West Indies Gold Mining Corporation in London, and joined the Royal Regiment Artillery in 1892. After his father secured his discharge in 1895, he became involved in successive itinerant occupations in South Africa, the United States, Canada and Australia. He traveled to the West Indies and climbed Mount Pelee in Martinique before it erupted, and spent weeks exploring the interior of Dominica, producing the first map of it. He served in a mounted police brigade in Bulawayo, Rhodesia, fighting against the Matabele in the Second Matabele War. He took part in fifteen engagements and was wounded twice. From here Terry had also taken part in the notorious Jameson Raid, on December 29, 1895. In Canada he served as the secretary of a miner's union, and was outraged at how the premier of British Columbia, James Dunsmuir, who was also a mine owner, hired Chinese labour for low wages in preference to whites. He was also upset by the mine owners of South Africa importing Chinese coolies to work for low wages ahead of whites. He was strongly in favour of the white working class of the British Empire and believed the British government, capitalists and Jewish financiers were destroying the Empire's future by using the working class like slaves, and hiring non-white labour too. Terry departed Canada for Australia via Hawaii, and after time there came to New Zealand. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lionel Terry」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
