Hib04jjb Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Hi, I'am currently doing a dissertation on: Conscientious Objectors (COs) and the notion of citizenship in the second world war. I would like to know if anyone could tell me about any direct experiences or stories you may have heard of your grandparents etc about CO's during the war, or if you was one yourself, about your experiences. (How you or they were treated? what you or others thought of CO's? Or any stories of bravery you may have heard CO's perform, tribunal experiences and so on) Furthermore, I would appreciate if people could talk about what it meant to be a citizen during WWII, or a citizen just before the outbreak of the war. And what did it mean to be a 'good' citizen or a 'bad' citizen. (examples would help) Thanks for your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
