Page "Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament" Paragraph 27

On the 1963 Aldermaston march, a clandestine group calling itself Spies for Peace distributed leaflets about a secret government establishment, RSG 6, that the march was passing.

The leaflet said that RSG 6 was to be the local HQ for a military dictatorship after nuclear war.

A large group left the march, much against the wishes of the CND leadership, to demonstrate at RSG 6.

Later, when the march reached London, there were disorderly demonstrations in which anarchists were prominent, quickly deprecated in the press and in parliament.

In 1964 there was only a one-day march, partly because of the events of 1963 and partly because the logistics of the march, which had grown beyond all expectation, had exhausted the organisers.

The Aldermaston March was resumed in 1965.
