Friends compile CO database
‘There’s no single national source, incredibly.’
Quakers are compiling a database to remember conscientious objectors (COs) in world war two.
The team includes Ellis Brooks, from Quaker Peace & Social Witness (QPSW), Philip Austin and Barry Mills, from the Northern Friends Peace Board, and Rosemary Rich, who recently completed a PhD on the subject. The team is encouraging descendants to share details about their relatives on a purpose-built website (https://bit.ly/ww2co).
