Victor Grayson's life may have been short but it was certainly
action-packed. Born in the slums of Liverpool, a bright lad, he
served an engineering apprenticeship before becoming captivated by
religion. He began preaching in non-conformist churches before
training as a Unitarian minister and attending Manchester
University. His interest switched to politics and, in 1907, aged
25, he shook the British Establishment when he won the Colne Valley
by-election as a socialist with active support from the
Suffragettes.The 1910 election saw him lose his seat but split the
Labour Party in the process. He then married an actress, travelled
to Australia and New Zealand, where he joined the Anzac Forces and
sailed for France. Wounded at Passchendaele, he was invalided out
of the army. In 1918, his wife died tragically giving birth to
their second daughter.Victor's lifestyle became even more luxurious
before, one afternoon in September 1920, he walked out of his
apartment and disappeared. Despite many reported sightings, his
disappearance remains a mystery.
