Mrs Sandettie's grandfather, Ralph was at Gallipoli in WW1A couple of other soldiers in his unit were planning on getting the fuck out of dodge. Ralph was going to turn a blind eye but at the last minute grabbed them and stopped them leaving.
The two soldiers were charged with cowardice and were summarily executed by firing squad. They were unusually lenient on Ralph and all he got was being tied to a gun carriage and receiving a good lashing.
