The hearings before the exemption court held in north‐eastern Victoria during the 1916 conscription campaign offered insights into the way people viewed the war, and demonstrated the extraordinary discretionary power available to a hostile magistrate, and an unsettling inconsistency in decisions handed down, as well as the careful planning that had gone into the war effort by farming communities and, intriguingly, the importance of the ‘bachelor uncle’ in the economic structure of families in regional society.
