Abstract:
A British Quaker, author, journalist, field secretary for the Friends Service Committee, associate of Mohandas K. Gandhi, and conscientious objector during World War II.

Reginald Reynolds was a British Quaker, author, journalist, and field secretary for the Friends Service Committee. Reynolds was associated with Mohandas K. Gandhi during the Indian civil disobedience movement in the early 1930s. He founded or was associated with various movements which worked for India's freedom from British colonial rule, notably the Indian Freedom Campaign [see essay about Reynold's relationship with Gandhi and the Indian independence movement.] He was a conscientious objector to World War II.

This collection consists of pamphlets, leaflets, and newspaper clippings, many concerning India and M.K. Gandhi. Gandhi's letters to and about Reginald Reynolds are available online.
