Norfolk and Conscientious Objectors in WW1’ – Jim McNeill

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