Hi Guys and Gals,

I'm wondering of someone can tell me what WW1 offences this might refer to:

Courts-Martials:

Offences: Sections 6 (1b), 40

I've been googling like crazy and not coming up with anything telling me what these "sections" are or refer to, and any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You!

Hi Karmen
I did a bit of digging online at www.nationalarchives.gov.uk and found that Section 40 is - Section 40 (Conduct to the prejudice of good order and military discipline) as a generalisation in a case of the 1940's - I believe this is the 'catch all' as we knew it - ie:if they can't get you on something else they'll sucker you with this one!!!!
