Drunken disorderliness. Cowardice in battle. Writing bad cheques.
Vulgarity. Sexual indecency. Adultery. Following courts martial for
such disgraceful behaviour, hundreds of Canadian officers lost
their commissions during the First and Second World Wars.
Scandalous Conduct investigates the changing definitions that
shaped the quintessential honour crime known as "conduct unbecoming
an officer and a gentleman." The dishonour represented a direct
challenge to the discredited officer's prestige, livelihood, and
sense of manhood. Drawing on fascinating court cases never before
studied, Scandalous Conduct concludes that military honour was not
a stable concept; instead it depended on social circumstances and
disciplinary requirements.
