Tomorrow at 2:15pm there will be a reconstruction of the 1916 tribunal of a Liverpool conscientious objector, organised by the Liverpool Quakers at the Liverpool Maritime Museum (in the Lecture Theatre on the 4th floor).
Members of the audience will have the opportunity to be involved if you wish.

This follows on from Constructing Conchies, a lecture about the men who refused to fight in the First World War, the reasons behind their decision and the consequences it had for them. This begins at 1pm, also in the Lecture Theatre (4th floor).
