Ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances can show us that even in the darkest of times it is possible to resist the call to war.
Refusing to Kill tells the stories of men who in the First World War resisted the propaganda, the peer pressure and the full and sometimes brutal force of the state and refused to take part in war: the killing of strangers - of men like themselves.
Ideal for use in class with a range of supplementary teaching and study notes.

A teacher's story
“We the parents and guardians of children of the parish of Keiss resolve that Mr McClements shall not be again allowed to teach in Keiss Public School as he is a conscientious objector.”
Read the story, use the resource.
Currently we have over 300 COs listed as teachers.
Series of posters that provide a quick visual snapshot of the conscientious objector's experience in the 1914-19 war. They can be followed by more detailed material.
