The men who refused to fight

They stood by their principles and were put to work building Sussex’s wartime roads.

Emily Jeffery explores the stories of men whose beliefs kept them from the front line, leading them instead to Newhaven, Denton and Seaford, where they built roads and served the war effort far from the battlefields.
