60 Faces: David Rumsey

While completing his National Service, David attended a course on the effects of atomic weapons. ‘The American film footage from Hiroshima left a lasting impression on me,’ he said. ‘Nuclear weapons were obviously qualitatively and quantitatively different from anything one could possibly fight a war with; they were simply devices for mass destruction.’

David co-organised a number of major CND events including long distance walks, exhibition bus tours, speaking tours, and the most recent Aldermaston March. He served on National Council over many years and was an active member of Ex-Services CND.

His passion for the cause of nuclear disarmament never dimmed.
