I agree with all that's been said in favour of the pardons. I think it was disgraceful (politest word I can think of) that men & boys who enlisted to fight for their Country, most of who had already seen action, could be shot for being cowards.
Wasn't it also the case at the time that if you didn't enlist you were branded a coward? To my knowledge those who refused to go were treated badly by all, but weren't shot
