Abstract: We present two examples of WCG spaces that are not hereditarily WCG. The first is a space with an unconditional basis, and the second is a space $X$ such that $X^{**}$ is WCG and $X^{**}$ does not contain $\ell^1$. The non-WCG subspace $Y$ of $X$ has the additional property that $Y^{**}$ is not WCG and $X/Y$ is reflexive.
