The definitive history of the British soldiers executed by their own Army during the First World War. Three hundred and fifty-one men were executed by British Army firing squads between September 1914 and November 1920. By far the greatest number, 266 were shot for desertion in the face of the enemy. The executions continue to haunt the history of the war, with talk today of shell shock and posthumous pardons. Using new material released from the Public Records Office and other sources, the authors reveal what really happened and place the story of these executions firmly in the context of the military, social and medical context of the period.

tells the true story
so far the best write up Ive read about the soldiers shot at dawn during WW1. as frequent visitors to the battlefields and war graves of the Somme and Nord, its great resource when you visit them. may they rest in peace , now many have been forgiven.
