George Lansbury's Will
‘THE will of the late George Lansbury, M.P., was proved last year for the comparatively small sum of £1695. He directed the cremation of his remains, and the ashes thrown into the sea somewhere off Land’s End. "I desire this," the will stated, "because although I love England very dearly and consider this lovely island the best spot in the world, I am a convinced internationalist and like to feel I am just a tiny part of universal life which will one day break down all divisions of creed and speech and economic barriers and make mankind one great eternal unit both in life and death."--(From "The World," November, 1940.) —
