Sir William Henry Arnold KBE (5 August 1903 - 21 July 1973) was Bailiff of Guernsey from 1960 to his death in 1973.
[2][3][4][5] In 1964 he led the successful move in Guernsey to abolish the death penalty for murder.
[6] In 1966 a civil servant, Basil Torode, raised Clameur de Haro in the Guernsey Parliament in front of Arnold, leading to an uproar in the house.
[8] He died before the new boat could be commissioned, and she was named Sir William Arnold in his honour.
