Hugh Arnold
Hugh Arnold (1872–1915) was born in Wimbledon, the son of a solicitor. Arnold was educated at the Slade School of Fine Art before attending the London County Council (LCC) Central School of Arts and Crafts where he studied under Christopher Whall from 1989 to 1903. He designed stained glass windows for James Powell & Sons and also did some independent work. While an officer in the Northumberland Fusiliers, Arnold died on active service at Gallipoli in 1915.
Some of Arnold's works were:
-
the deputy leader of the Labour Party, in preference to Arnold Nordmeyer and Hugh Watt, upon the death of Jerry Skinner. He beat both Hugh Watt and Arnold Nordmeyer for the position, as a compromise candidate as was regarded by many within the Party as a middle roader. Hackett also likely received sympathy votes as he was known to have been ill.
