The First World War was the first time compulsory military conscription had been introduced in Britain and Tribunals were set up in 1916 to hear appeals for exemption from the armed services.
John Buckell’s talk reveals the struggle between the local tribunals and those citizens of Northampton who refused to fight – and what happened to them as a result.
Guests £5.00.
