James Frederick Bear was a Conscientious Objector during World War 1 and because
of this was imprisoned in Dartmoor.
Personal letters have yet to be scanned and will be added later and will add an extra
dimension, showing not only the impact of the experience on him but also its impact
on his family.
You will currently find on this site scans of pages he wrote about his experience
at that time, and scans of official documents and letters we still have.
