Obituaries

The 13 people whose deaths these papers marked, in 13 obituaries, tributes, memorial notices and hostile send-offs: comrades of the movement and its enemies alike. In order of surname.

Found by reading every article on this site, not only those headed as obituaries. Several were set inside a neighbouring story when the pages were divided by machine; they are filed under that story's headline, which is noted. Dates of death come from the obituary where it gives one, otherwise from the record; where only the issue is known, the issue date is given. A political obituary, written for someone still living, is marked as one. The obituaries of every Red Mole archive are together at archives.redmole.org/obituaries/.
