Thomas Keell

Who was Thomas Keell?

Thomas Henry Keell was an Englishman compositor who edited the anarchist periodical Freedom. He attended the International Anarchist Congress of Amsterdam in 1907, where he was hailed by Emma Goldman as "one of our most devoted workers on the London Freedom". Keell also contributed to Voice of Labour for many years, and was an outspoken opponent of the First World War. He was arrested along with companion Lilian Wolfe during a 1916 raid of Freedom offices; the pair were imprisoned and later lived together in Whiteway Colony in Gloucestershire from the 1920s until Keell's death in 1938.
