Yes confined to barracks when your fellow comrades are allowed to leave freely. This was a common disciplinary procurer and is often seen on soldiers records for minor disciplinary issues such as not turning up for a parade. My G Grandfather got 10 days Cb for stealing brass shells....lol

Thank You once again to everyone. Guess I know where to post the rest of my questions on these matters.

Just to expand on what the guys say about,

Confined to Barracks

During which defaulters will be required to;

Answer to their names at uncertain times throughout the day.

Be employed on fatigue duties to the fullest practicable extent, with a view to relieving well conducted soldiers.

Attend parades and take all duties in regular turn.

When fatigue duties required are not sufficient to keep the defaulters fully employed the CO

may order them to attend punishment drill.

Not to use the Wet Canteen

Not just staying in Barracks.

Regards Charles

Wiz,

Often commonly refered to as 'Jankers' still exists in the Forces and is I think now known as 'Restrictions'.
