What does the white feather symbolise in World War 1?

Men who had not enlisted in the Army were given a white feather by young women as a sign of cowardice. The Order of the White Feather was set up to humiliate and coerce men into joining up and women were encouraged to give feathers to men they met - who were obviously not overseas fighting. The rather nasty problem was that some men would be medically unfit to join and yet were still presented with feathers, which further humiliated them. Absolutely right, the women, especially in England showed a real unhealthy zeal for this work and would even hand them over to men who were doing critical war work but were dressed in civvies. Horrible individuals.
