Found it very interesting and thought provoking, not a subject that I have looked at in the past. Ralph.

I was pleased with the programme. The men who were imprisoned (the Absolutists) were only a relatively small percentage of the total number of conscientious objectors but articles and programmes often concentrate attention on them. This programme did not.

An excellent episode made in 2008, finished off the series rather nicely , the four previous episodes having been made in 2005 and shown earlier in the week on The History Channel.

CGM,

I agree, I also thought the programme covered a wide range of the spectrum and did not concentrate solely on the absolutists.

Kim,

Thank you for posting that, I hope the earlier programmes in the series get enough repeats to allow me to catch one or two of them.

Best regards,

Ian.

Excellent programme and an episode I hadn't seen before

Belper is only up the road from us so the story about the two brothers who heaped shame on the family by resigning their commissions was very intersting but sad to think that the old boy never spoke them again
