For a time, Leo Baxendale was the secretary of the Scottish council of CND (I was assistant secretary). Leo’s involvement in this role went beyond the mere routine of regular administrative business. He was constantly looking for innovative and creative ways of campaigning. This included making use of his own artistic talents to illustrate leaflets.
