Book excerpt: On the centenary of the Great War, we hear and read of valiant and heroic stories. There is another story, one less spoken of. The story of the people who refused to fight for their country. Today, the individuals mentioned in this book would be the focus of internet trolls. In their own day they elicited an equally vehement reaction from their communities. These were the people who refused to fight for their country, and they were known as 'Conscientious Objectors'. This book provides a remarkable testimony about the experiences of conscientious objectors and their treatment at the hands of the state. It contradicts the received view that these objectors were treated universally brutally by the army, the prison system and the government, and is bound to lead to a modification of the orthodox view. Andy Ward was given access to 300 letters that had been discovered in a local family’s attic. They record a correspondence from 1916 to the end of the war between Leonard and Roland Payne, two brothers who chose to become conscientious objectors, and their friends and family. The letters follow their journey as the authorities attempted to dissuade them from their course of action, through punishment, until finally they were placed in a situation where they could be useful. Conchies is not a work of purely local history. Rather, it is a case study: local history in a national context and national history in a local context. It is also a very human story, treated with balance and thought. It will appeal to those interested in the First World War, civilian experiences of the War, British social history, the evolving nature of public opinion and the ethical and moral issues of conscience.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When, at the height of the First World War, many Allied governments introduced conscription, there were thousands of individuals who, for personal or religious reasons, refused to fight. After tough questioning, some were exempted but the majority were forced into the army anyways. Those who 'refused to do their duty' were threatened with death sentences or harsh prison terms; many died from ill treatment. Conchies collects many of the moving true stories of these brave individuals.

Book excerpt: Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1896 edition. Excerpt: ... an old cross On a long ridge of moor, a thousand feet above the sea, that forms a spur of Dartmoor, running out into the rich umbrageous land below--like certain characters that retain their innate savagery though surrounded by the sweetest culture--stands a very ancient cross--so rude, so shapeless that it probably belongs to a hoar antiquity, unless it were carved in the Middle Ages by a man who was an abject workman. It is of granite. It is covered with a crust of lichen, yellow, white, and black. It is so shapeless that some daring antiquaries have suggested that it was a prehistoric menhir that was hacked into a rude cross to give it consecration from heathen rites. Whatever its origin, it is a curious object; and long may it remain looking down out of its grey lichens on the golf-players who have invaded this tract of down. But a quarry has been opened near it; and year by year those engaged in supplying stone for the roads approach nearer to the venerable cross, and menace its stability. That its existence has been menaced before, these pages will declare. That the menace came to nought is obvious, because it stands still. The Abbot of Tavistock one day passed that way on his mule. "Upon my word, that cross is clean too ridiculous," said he, in the vernacular of the fourteenth century, which I do not attempt to reproduce, as vernacular never was written down save in farces; and there are no farces extant of that early period to tell us what the popular slang was. "I think, Brother Augustine," pursued the Abbot, "I'll have it broken up and a new and respectable cross erected in its stead." "Can't do it," answered Brother Augustine. "Why not?" "Because it is a cross" So it escaped on that occasion. Abbot Robert wouldn't have it said...
