That's a really interesting reply, thanks Andy. I'll check his militia details.
The 4th possibility seems to fit, especially with him going back into service.
He also completed WW1 service under no: 430. I found the MIC, but no other information  on this period.

Thanks for that information.  It would be interesting to know how he got out of jail early.  I'm surprised that he was taken back into the army after that charge.

The battle summary suggested that around 315 men were taken prisoners, so I'm wondering why it went so wrong for him?

Thanks Andy, I wondered if him going missing then being released is in any way connected to the court martial??? On FindMyPast against his name,  there is a summary of the battle where he went missing. Since posting I have seen an ancestry reference to his court martial in Pretoria, however this is on Fold 3 and I don't have a subscription for that site

Nee help please!
I have quite a lot of information on James Coleman. No 4867 .2nd Batt. Hampshire Regt. Born 1878.
I am stuck on a court martial detail. According to his record on Ancestry . He was taken prisoner on 13th  Dec 1900 at Nooitgedacht. South Africa. He was released the next day.
He was court martialed for cowardice and desertion and according to his record was given 2 years in Derby prison. It looks like he was released very shortly afterwards and according to Irish civil records , got married in Oct 1901 in Cork, Ireland.
Has anyone got any details or knowledge of this soldier and more to the point any details of the Court martial proceedings and why he was released so early? I have access to ancestry and FindMyPast, however cant access any details of the actual Court martial proceedings in Pretoria in Feb 1901.
Any knowledge or views  appreciated

Thanks again. I have Ancestry and have found some info, but it is on Fold 3. I don't have access to that or Forces war records.
I can see that there are a couple of records for James Hart no 1457 in Chelsea hospital, but they are also on Fold 3.
