William Reddaway

William Fiddian Reddaway (Middleton, Lancashire 2 August 1872 – 31 January 1949)[1] was an academic and author[2] in the very late 19th and early 20th centuries.

[3] Reddaway was educated at The Leys School and King's College, Cambridge.

He was also University Lecturer in History and Director of Scandinavian Studies; and Censor of Fitzwilliam House, Cambridge from 1907 to 1924.

[7] Subhas Bose also consulted him before he resigned from the Indian Civil Service.

Agreeing with Bose, he said that he preferred a journalistic career to a monotonous one like the Civil Service.
