Messina1915 Posted 20 June , 2008 Share Posted 20 June , 2008 If he was in the Non Combatant Corps then Henry Basnett was probably a Conscientious (sp?) Objector. What was the name of the chap who drowned with him? I've just read a book on the subject if anyone is interested - We Will Not Fight by Will Ellsworth-Jones - very interesting indeed. Cheers, Carole.
