Letter from Harold Wild, 1974<\/h5>\n

The following is part of a letter which my father had written to me on November 17 1974, five years before he died. I think it came in response to a letter of mine in which I must have mentioned his stand during the war years:<\/p>\n

“Looking back over the years, I do not feel that I could have taken any other stand than I did, involving one night in the Town Hall’s Police cells, a ride in the ‘Black Maria’ to Minshull St. Police Station & a night in the ‘Guard-room’ of Ashton Barracks, followed by an interview before the Officer in charge (without any clothing on me). He was probably of the opinion that if I had tamely submitted myself to a normal military exam. I would have been rejected & he wanted to know WHY I refused military service. He seemed quite interested in my case!”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
