Quakers around the country are to launch a four-year project to tell the suppressed stories of world war one conscientious objectors on May 15, International Conscientious Objectors’ Day.  The launch, at Friends House in London, will be hosted by writer and broadcaster Geoffrey Durham and Ruth Cadbury, prospective parliamentary candidate and a granddaughter of conscientious objectors.
