Court Martial

[Patrick Watt]

I have found in the roll book ofthe 4th Cameron Highlanders a reference to a 2nd Lieutenant H F Henderson who was dismissed by GCM (presumably General Court MArtial) on 26 April 1916. Does anyone know where I can find out more on Court Martial records?

Cheers

There are quite a few records at Kew,a couple here:

WO84 Charge Books.

WO86 DCMartial Registers Home and Abroad

If you go to the Catalogue page and enter Court Martial on top line and WO on the bottom line you will get the choice.

If he has,as an officer, a War Office general correspondence file in his name in series WO339 or 374 at Kew,these may be informative.I have found material related to a court martial of another officer in his general file.although not the formal papers.
