| CHARLES HOLLOWAY 1877 - |
|
||||||||
| Charles Holloway was nearly old enough to avoid conscription entirely in 1916. At 39, he was one of the oldest conscientious objectors, but due to the extension of conscription to the age of 51 in 1918, he would not be discharged from the army until 1919. After appearing at the St Pancras Tribunal in April 1916, he accepted Non-Combatant Service and worked with the 4th Eastern Company of the NCC throughout the war. The NCC worked on support and logistics both at home and in France and worked as labourers on many tasks without using or carrying weapons. Many other Conscientious Objectors from Camden accepted Non-Combatant Service, registering their objection on a personal level by refusing to kill in war.
