1 year I.H.L

[russtobin]

Could someone please tell me what 1 year I.H.L means? 

 

Found it on a soldiers conduct sheet.

 

Thanks in advance

Imprisonment Hard Labour?

[russtobin]

Wow that's quite serious!

 

[Ron Clifton]

Yes, but it could be worse. IHL could be awarded for up to two years, but usually meant that the soldier could be retained in the Army. Sentences of three years or more were "penal servitude" and were normally served in a civilian prison after discharge from the Army.

 

For what offence was he convicted?

I'm trying to understand his extensive records but it looks like he was > 1 month AWOL during active service.
