Wilfred Risdon
Wilfred Risdon (28 January 1896 – 11 March 1967) was a British political organiser and antivivisection campaigner. His life and career encompassed coal mining, trade union work, First World War service with the Royal Army Medical Corps (RAMC), political and animal welfare activism.
== Early life, 1896–1920 ==
Wilfred Risdon was born in Bath, Somerset, England, on 28 January 1896, the youngest of ten surviving children of Edward George Fouracres Risdon (1855–1931), a bespoke boot and shoe maker born in Devonport, Devon, and Louisa née Harris (1851–1911) from Exeter, Devon, who also worked intermittently as a shoe machinist. In his childhood, Wilfred Risdon is reputed to have been a devout Christian, because his father was an adherent of the Plymouth Brethren: his grandfather committed suicide in 1862 when Edward Risdon was only 7 years old. This zealous Christianity undoubtedly influenced Wilfred Risdon's later career. Although the 1911 census describes Risdon as working in bookbinding, having presumably finished schooling at the age of 14, he soon started working at one of the local Somerset collieries: although the work would have been physically demanding for such a young boy, the wages might have been marginally better, especially after a few years' experience (assuming he survived).
