White was the first Australian to publicly stand as a conscientious objector to war. This initial application for total exemption and subsequent appeals were rejected. White was removed from his classroom and ordered to report to Army quarters at Watsons Bay. He refused to comply, and waited at home for the authorities to make the next move.
