The enduring legacy of those who said 'No'. 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 establishment and
the various groups of pacifists and conscientious objectors. Across
the land, those who would not fight found themselves hauled before
tribunals, standing before panels appointed to decide their fate -
often prison or internment. No More Soldiering looks at the lives
and experiences of those men and women who would not fight Kaiser
Bill's army and suffered as a consequence, from Fenner Brockway,
who faced solitary confinement in jail, to Ithel Davies, who found
himself interned in Ireland. Being a 'conchie', it could be argued,
was just as tough as facing the enemy in a trench.
