E.H. Coombe was a man of strong principles. With no more than 6 years of formal schooling, he became a journalist, newspaper editor and member of parliament. But his steadfast anti-conscription stance led to his persecution, and many of his colleagues labelled him a coward, a traitor to the men at the Front, and disloyal to King and country.
