The case against compulsory military training.

Written by Charles Reginald Ford, The case against compulsory military training was published by The “Maoriland Worker” Printery and the National Peace Council of New Zealand, Christchurch.

This pamphlet from 1912 challenges compulsory military training and outlines the origins of the scheme, the use of the word ‘training’ over ‘conscription’, terms of service and an examination of militarist claims and counter arguments.
