Jim McNeill of the Stoke Ferry & District History Group gave an illustrated talk and led a discussion around the story of why conscription was thought necessary during the First World War and about those men who, often at great personal cost, chose imprisonment, solitary confinement, hard labour or alternative work rather than kill their fellow man. Jim also included sketches of just three of Norfolk’s suffragettes who promoted peace and an end to the killing fields of 1914-18.
