IN the last week of August this year, a 40th anniversary commemorative march began from Cardiff to the former site of Greenham Common airbase in Berkshire, marking the route taken in 1981 by Women for Life on Earth, against the placement of US nuclear missiles in Britain.

A prominent figure in the peace movement at this time was Bruce Kent, now honorary vice-president of Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND), having been its general secretary and chair during the peak of media spotlight on Greenham.
