sorry have just looked on google (which i should have done before posting) and found what number one field punishment is (being tied to a fixed object for up to three hours a day, sometimes in range of enemy fire) |

Yes Ivy, i thought it pretty cruel. i suppose drowning your sorrows was a way to atleast escape temporarily, and i noticed the first two offences were just a few days apart. yes he went on to have another two children and he died in 1946. I certainly can't blame him for wanting to find a way out! must have been awful enough as it was, without field punishment number one! |
