Out of the frying pan - pathetic plight of unconscientious conscientious objector who learns in the Press that he may be put on to minesweeping. Conscription was introduced in Britain in March 1916 and conscientious objectors went before a Military Service Tribunal. They were generally, by this point in World War One, viewed unsympathetically.
