No more soldiering : conscientious objectors in the First World War
Wade, Stephen, 1948-2016
Books, Manuscripts
January 2016 marks the centenary of the Military Service Act, which brought in conscription, after the large-scale loss of manpower in the major campaigns of the Western Front. The Act was to create a sustained and dramatic confrontation between the military power-base and the various categories of pacifists and conscientious objectors. Across the land, those who would not fight found themselves at a tribunal, standing before a panel which would decide their fate - often prison or internment. 'No More Soldiering' looks at the lives and experiences of a dozen men who would not fight Kaiser Bill's army, and who suffered as a consequence.
