Re World War I. Fenner Brockway will have provided all essential information.

"I was not a conscientious objector during the first war because I was overage. It was only shortly before going to prison that I became eligible for conscription because the age-limit was raised."

Rae eventually published Conscience and Politics (Oxford U.P., 1970) but did not cite Russell.
