Douglas Goldring (7 January 1887 – 9 April 1960) was an English writer and journalist. Goldring volunteered for the British Army in 1914, at the outbreak of World War I, but was discharged for medical reasons. Subsequently, he took a more critical attitude towards the war, from a socialist position. He joined the 1917 Club, the mixed gender Bohemian radical equivalent of a "gentlemen's club", at 4 Gerrard Street, Soho; the name celebrated the Bolshevik revolution in Russia. He moved to Dublin, Ireland, and married there his first wife, Betty Duncan ... Goldring witnessed the funeral of the Irish Republican activist Thomas Ashe, which he later wrote about in his book "A Stranger in Ireland." Goldring was a member of the National Council for Civil Liberties.
