During the First World War several Labour Party changed their views on international conflict in order to further their career. One such example was Vernon Hartshorn, a miner's leader in South Wales. Hartshorn supported the war effort and served on the coal trade organization committee, the coal controllers' advisory committee, and the industrial unrest committee in South Wales. His loyal support resulted in him being awarded the OBE in 1918.
