centurion Posted 20 March , 2012 Share Posted 20 March , 2012 Doesn't seem to have been a penal battalion - perhaps there was a confusion between POWs and Prisoners ? AFAIK unlike the Belgian and German armies the British did not use penal companies or battalions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corisande Posted 20 March , 2012 Share Posted 20 March , 2012 Doesn't seem to have been a penal battalion Yes, from what I have read I would agree with you there. As far as I can see they were all volunteers/conscripts, but information on the SBL seems hard to come by Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
