Remembering all the COs who continued to be incarcerated after the armistice. The suffering that these COs endured must never be forgotten. The last of the COs were still being called up and imprisoned as late as 1919.
We will read out some of the names of those COs who were imprisoned at Walton during the First World War, and some of the names of COs who are currently jailed throughout the world.

This is in advance of us marking Prisoners for Peace Day on December 1st.
