Now you all know that I don't like quibble..... in WW1, and in fact pretty much all wars, the British, like pretty much everyone else, shot those convicted of cowardice in the face of the enemy. Desertion is a different offence which may or may not have been construed as cowardice depending on the circumstances. It is of course fair to say that in WW1 there were some pretty ludicrous, and tragic, interpretations of "cowardice".

Conscientous objectors were those who objected to war on religious or moral grounds and were found other jobs to do, perhaps farming, or driving ambulances and so on. Remember Godfrey in Dad's Army? He won an MM as a conshy.

Fair points but those who deserted because of their conscientious objections and were accused and found guilty of "cowardice" and subsequently shot are unable to quibble about the semantics of it all. But anyway I have wondered wildly <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/offtopic.gif" alt="" />
