Cambridge Scientists Anti-War Group

The Cambridge Scientists Anti-War Group (CSAWG) was a left wing pacifist group set up in 1932.[1]

In 1937 responding to concerns about the use of poison gas bombs, the CSAWG organised an experiment in the Trinity College room of John Fremlin to determine the rate at which a gas might leak into a sealed room. However Jack Haldane queried the rigour of the scientific methodology.[2]
