Amish non-combatant conscription and conscientious objectors in World War I (jun 12, 1917 – nov 11, 1918)
Description:
Some Amish boys receive exemptions for farm deferments as conscientious objectors, but others are required to report to Army camps. Drafted Amish who refuse to enter armed service are sent to the Army camps for non-combatant service and are often subjected to abuse. There is no record of any Amish casualty.Added to timeline:
