Family History Beginners Board / Re: Charles Haddon Redvers Gray
« on: Tuesday 04 July 23 23:33 BST (UK) »
So, I believe we can help each other with research about your CHRG...I've been looking for a Charles H. Gray in connection with the expulsion of Aleister Crowley from Italy in 1923 (see John Symonds, a reference both to a letter from Charles Gray and a subsequent, connected visit from Redvers Gray in 1962).
First, if I'm correct, CHRG (born in 1901) attended Oxford but was rusticated (temporarily sent down) for his participation with Arthur Reade in the Free Oxford Communist paper...he ran in the same circles as many at the Fitzroy, including Raoul Loveday, for whom he advocated with the father of fellow undergrad Peter Rodd (Ambassador in Rome) to have Crowley expelled. I'm currently seeking to publish my account of this fascinating episode as it relates to the author Richard Hughes (novelist).
If possible, please help me confirm that your CHRG attended Oxford? Any other information would be really helpful!!!
