Dear All,
I've just finished reading 'Danger UXB' by MJ Jappy, about the bomb disposal done during WW2. I was most surprised to read about the NCC, who (p.92) provided over 350 volunteers to the Royal Engineers to work on bomb disposal. I had always assumed that conscientious objectors were given to the RAMC.
I was wondering whether there would be a role for an NCC(V)?
Something along the lines of volunteers for UK deployment only, probably specialising in certain areas such as bomb disposal, IT, medical services etc.
This would also provide a place in the army for those unwilling (because of personal beliefs or family pressure) to serve on operations, especially in Muslim countries.
msr
