| Abstract: |
An analysis of the operation of the security services in south Wales during the Great War. it focuses on the relationship between the UK intelligence services and the south Wales police and its controversial Chief Constable, Lionel Lindsay. It features the hitherto secret activity of the Ministry of Munitions's intelligence service, and its attempts to stem anti-war activity in industry in south Wales, and to deal with the perceived threat of Bolshevism. The article considers how anti-war activists were targeted, and why Special Branch and MI5 reined Lindsay back from persecuting more anti-war activists. |
