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.
