Surrey Men in the Pearce Register of British WW1 Conscientious Objectors

The Pearce Register of British WW1 Conscientous Objectors is the work of Cyril Pearce, who has very kindly given us permission to make available here the data relating the Surrey men it contains.

Please note that the Pearce Register is a research tool which is still being improved by the contributions of users. If you see things which are wrong or empty spaces for which you can provide content please let us know. The information in the Pearce Register can be supported by accessible, usually documentary, evidence. This Surrey data was the latest available in July 2015.

The whole Pearce Register is available on https://livesofthefirstworldwar.org/ but please note that some of the information can only be viewed by subscribers.

Guide to the information on each page

Name: If there is a number in brackets this is the conscientious objector's Army number, if known. An "F" indicates that another member of the conscientious objector's family was also a conscientious objector.

An asterisk * indicates that there is more information in the "Notes" at the foot of the page.

WO363: "Yes" or "No" indicates whether the conscientious objector's service record has been found in this record collection at The National Archives.

NCF: Branch of the No‐Conscription Fellowship. This was the principal national organisation, of which the vast majority, but not all, of conscientious objectors were members. There may also be a reference to the NCF in under "Motivation".

Motivation: The organisations or principles, on which the conscientious objector based his refusal to serve, where known.

Tribunals: References here to the various Tribunals before which conscientious objectors appeared to assert their conscientious objection and appeal for exemption, including the Central Tribunal which also adjudicated on the validity of a conscientious objector's claim as the basis for allowing him to enter the Home Office Scheme under the Brace Committee.

Central Tribunal: Conscientious objectors who went before the Central Tribunal were given a number and classified on a four point A to D scale. Some conscientious objectors applied to the Central Tribunal for permission to vote under the terms of the 1918 Representation of the People Act.

War Service: Includes the nature of their service, eg Friends’ Ambulance Unit, Friends’ War Victims Relief, Work of National Importance etc. Please see abbreviations list below.

Magistrates Court: Conscientious objectors who failed to answer their call‐up were arrested and taken to court as Absentees.

Comments: Any additional detail about the court case. Also used for those conscientious objectors and their sympathisers who fell foul of the Defence of the Realm Act (DoRA).

Surrey in the Great War: A County Remembers

HOS Work Centre: Under the Home Office Scheme, administered by the Brace Committee, conscientious objectors moved from the Army to the HOS by being transferred to Army Reserve Class W. There were HOS work centres in various places.

Abroad: "Yes" indicates that the conscientious objector served abroad in some capacity. See also the Service Details.

Absolutist: "Yes" indicates that the conscientious objector was an Absolutist, who refused to do any war related work or obey military orders.

Fugitive: "Yes" indicates that the conscientious objector is known to have gone ‘on the run’ at some time.
