Conchies, or conscientious objectors, were individuals who refused military service on moral or religious grounds, especially during World War I and World War II. Their treatment varied widely, ranging from social ostracism and public scorn to imprisonment and forced labor. In some cases, they faced violence and hostility, while in others, they were granted alternative service options. Overall, conchies often endured significant stigma and hardship for their beliefs.
