Britten, Tippett, and The Second World War

So, on @BBCSSO's web-site, we find :— THE AGENT APSLEY (@THEAGENTAPSLEY) June 7, 2018
'In June 1943, Michael Tippett, then 38 years-old, was sentenced as a conscientious objector to three months in Wormwood Scrubs Prison (of which he served two).'https://t.co/oMUFZoz15A https://t.co/b3byunvwES
'[They] registered as conscientious objectors. Britten offered to work for the Ministry of Information in lieu of military service, and was later granted full exemption from the armed forces.'https://t.co/XfLQLN85OS— THE AGENT APSLEY (@THEAGENTAPSLEY) June 7, 2018
