Roll Call of Conscientious Objectors WWII
excerpted from Furrows in the Valley, p. 147. In June of 1941 the governemnt of Canada instituted what is known as Alternative Service.
Manitoba had the highest number of C.O's in the country, over 3000 in World War II.
They were involved in vast reforestation projects in B.C., Some were in the Medical Corps and served as orderlies or stretcher bearers overseas.
Some fought forest fires, did logging and served as farm workers. A single man could keep . 50 cents a day while a married man kept 5-10 dollars with an additional 5 dollars for each child.
The total amount paid to the Red Cross in Manitoba alone was over $650,000.00.The
Mennonites contributed in a variety of ways, purchasing large quantities of Victory Bonds.
The C.O's made $200.00 monthly and all earnings went to the Red Cross except for $45.00 to pay for the family's living expenses. Apparently
Apparently 82 men and boys were conscientious objectors during WWII. This is a partial listing. I'd be glad to confirm and add others.
