In Britain, conscription resulted in the calling up of nearly every physically fit man in Britain—six of ten million eligible. Of these, about 750,000 lost their lives. Most deaths were to young unmarried men; however, 160,000 wives lost husbands and 300,000 children lost fathers. Conscription during the First World War began when the British government passed the Military Service Act in 1916. The act specified that single men aged 18 to 40 years old were liable to be called up for military service unless they were widowed with children or ministers of a religion. There was a system of Military Service Tribunals to adjudicate upon claims for exemption upon the grounds of performing civilian work of national importance, domestic hardship, health, and conscientious objection. The law went through several changes before the war ended. Married men were exempt in the original Act, although this was changed in June 1916. The age limit was also eventually raised to 51 years old. Recognition of work of national importance also diminished, and in the last year of the war there was some support for the conscription of clergy. Conscription lasted until mid-1919. Due to the political situation in Ireland, conscription was never applied there; only in England, Scotland and Wales.

I Storbritannien resulterade värnplikten i att nästan varje fysiskt lämplig man i Storbritannien – sex av tio miljoner berättigade. Av dessa miste omkring 750 000 livet. De flesta dödsfallen gällde unga ogifta män; dock förlorade 160 000 hustrur män och 300.000 barn fäder. Värnplikten under första världskriget började när den brittiska regeringen 1916 antog Military Service Act. Lagen angav att ogifta män mellan 18 och 40 år kunde komma att inkallas till militärtjänst, om de inte var änkor med barn eller präster i en religion. Det fanns ett system med värnpliktstribunaler för att döma i anspråk på dispens på grund av att utföra civilt arbete av nationell betydelse, hemarbete, hälsa och samvetsvägran. Lagen genomgick flera förändringar innan kriget tog slut. Gifta män var undantagna i den ursprungliga lagen, även om detta ändrades i juni 1916. Åldersgränsen höjdes också så småningom till 51 år. Erkännandet av arbete av nationell betydelse minskade också, och under krigets sista år fanns ett visst stöd för prästerskapets värnplikt. Värnplikten varade till mitten av 1919. På grund av den politiska situationen på Irland tillämpades värnplikten aldrig där; endast i England, Skottland och Wales.
