Description: | This set of statistics showing the result of tribunal hearings in London in 1940-1942 was prepared for the Central Board of Conscientious Objectors (CBCO). Conscription was introduced in April 1939, and those who failed to convince tribunals that they had religious or moral objections to military service were forced to undertake military service and imprisoned for refusing. The statistics show how the tribunals divided those appearing before them into four categories. Those labelled "A" were granted unconditional Conscientious Objector (CO) Status. Those marked "B" were granted CO status with conditions, typically specifying the type of work the CO had to do. Those marked "C" were compelled to perform non-combatant duties under army discipline. Those marked "D" were denied CO status. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Bishopsgate Institute | Rights holder: | Bishopsgate Institute | Subjects: | Power and Politics London at War | Temporal: | 1943 | Source: | Bishopsgate Institute | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
