There were two categories of COs.

1. Those that refused to serve period! (Because of their status).

2. Those that served in the chaplin (religious) or medical corps.

Those in group #1 were considered cowards; because they COULD have done what group #2 did. But they relied too much on the "crutch" of CO status. That's why they were treated so badly...very few people like cowards (though there might some people that do).

World War 1 conscientious objector?

Conscientious objectors were rejected from there society, treated and seen as criminals.
