Members of the "Bodyguard" orchestrated the "escapes" of a number of fugitive suffragettes from police surveillance during 1913 and early 1914. They also participated in several violent actions against the police in defence of their leaders, notably including the "Battle of Glasgow" on 9 March 1914, when a group of about 30 Bodyguards brawled with about 50 police constables and detectives on the stage of St Andrew's Hall in Glasgow. The fight was witnessed by an audience of some 4500 people. [64] World War I [ edit ] SUFFRAGETTES". The Register. Adelaide: National Library of Australia. 16 April 1913. p.7.

The first woman to do so was Nancy Astor, Viscountess Astor, following a by-election in November 1919.As a result of her action Davison suffered discomfort for the rest of her life. [21] Her arson of postboxes was not authorised by the WSPU leadership and this, together with her other actions, led to her falling out of favour with the organisation; Sylvia Pankhurst later wrote that the WSPU leadership wanted "to discourage... [Davison] in such tendencies... She was condemned and ostracized as a self-willed person who persisted in acting upon her own initiative without waiting for official instructions."
