| Sommario/riassunto: | Military Service Tribunals were formed in 1916, to consider applications for exemption from men deemed by new legislation to have enlisted. To the military, they were obstructionist old duffers . To most who came before them, they were the unfeeling civilian arm of a remorseless machine. This work challenges both perspectives. |
