Pardons for WW1 Soldiers

Fine post Karmen. Too many people have forgotten how brutish trench warfare was during WWI.

As for the pardons, if it was just a case of a soldier malingering or breaking under the strain and deserting, then I feel a pardon is in order. I do believe however, that no pardon should ever be granted to any soldiers guilty of treason.
My dos pesos worth anyway!

CHIMO!

I thought it good to post too It's sad to learn how and how many lost their lives this way ... bad enough on the battlefield after living so harshly, and dieing harshly in battle. It was a horrible environment and war from the bits I've learned about. I imagine many men were pushed way beyond their coping abilities and I feel really sad for those that were executed for it.

I agree with you regards the treason part.

Karmen.
