Military Defaulters List- 1919
« on: Monday 06 July 20 23:43 BST (UK) »
Apologies Spades if you already have this in the resources section. I did look but couldn't see it.

"In May 1919 the government published a Military Defaulters List’ containing the names of men it considered had failed to perform their civic duties under the conscription system during the First World War. This included men who had directly refused military service (conscientious objectors), those who deserted from the New Zealand Expeditionary Force, and those who failed to present themselves for military service when called upon to do so. Conscientious objectors who had refused military service on religious grounds were exempt from inclusion in the list."


You can download this table as a spreadsheet containing more detailed information.

Thanks.

Good to keep in mind.

But our local challenged, or challenging rural group, did not have a presence until WWII. Just a few more years, and PapersPast will be retelling their stories. Must check to see what dates the TIMES and HERALD clips are up to now.
