Executed at dawn : British firing squads on the Western Front 1914-1918
Johnson, David (First World War Historian)2019
Books
Much has been written about the 346 men who were executed in World War One but there is usually only a passing reference to those who took part - the members of the firing squad, the officer in charge, the medical officer and the padre. What are their stories? Through extensive research Dr Johnson explores how they were selected and how they were treated before, during, and after the executions, and why there were so many procedural variations in the way that the executions were conducted.
