GEORGE ANDREW MORAN 1893 -  

support

While Quakers and other non-conformist Christians made up the majority of religious COs, other Christian denominations also produced men who refused to be conscripted in the First World War. George Moran was a Catholic, and at his Tribunal would have faced the difficult question of why, when Bishops and Priests supported the war, he felt that he should be exempted on religious grounds. We don't know what George's answer was, but it must not have satisfied the Tribunal panel as he spent much of the war in prison as an Absolutist CO after disobeying military orders. George was released and discharged in 1917, but sadly this was due to the deaths of his mother and sister, leaving him the only one capable of running the family business.
