Huddersfield, 1914—while many signed up to fight in the war that would engulf the next four years, the town’s community of conscientious objectors was growing. Labelled a ‘hotbed of pacifism’, a strong local socialist and Nonconformist culture planted the seeds of resistance to the military machine. Cyril Pearce draws on contemporary sources including the testimonies of COs themselves to paint a fascinating portrait of one town’s unique experience of the Great War.
