First World War - Desertion and DCM
« on: Thursday 24 November 16 14:08 GMT (UK) »
Hello

Where would a record of a District Court Martial be found? and if soldier deserted from his regiment - Scots Guards - was there an amnesty issued after the war?

Thank you, but he is not listed.

On his medal card it says DCM 6 March 1917 medals forfeited.
