We are pleased to announce the publication by Bristol Radical History Group of the ‘Refusing To Kill‘ booklet.

The booklet is a much expanded version of the material included in the ‘Refusing To Kill’ exhibition that appeared at various venues across Bristol from September 2017 to July 2018. The exhibition and booklet tell the story of the 580 men from the Bristol area who, for religious, moral or political reasons, refused to fight in World War 1, as well as the story of the men and women who supported them. It includes the names, addresses and occupations of all 580 conscientious objectors, as well as re-prints of rarely seen documents from local archives.

The booklet can be purchased on line via the Bristol Radical History Group website here

Anyone who saw Michael Mears’ one-man show ‘This Evil Thing’ in Bristol Cathedral in October 2017 will know what a powerful piece of theatre it is. We are now pleased to present two new performances, linked to the Commemoration, Conflict & Conscience festival at the end of April.
