I don't know of any Executed in the U.K. Pte.Eddie Slovik (of Detroit Mich.)was in Company G, 109th Inf.Regt. 28th Div.U.S.Army. He was the 1st soldier to be shot for desertion since the American Civil War. 21,049 were tried and found guilty of desertion. 49 were sentenced to death Slovik was the only one executed,he wrote to Gen. Eisenhower begging clemency, but so many were deserting that an example had to be made and he died by firing squad on Jan.31.1945 near Sainte-Marie-aux-Mines in France. He was buried with 94 other American soldiers who were executed for other crimes such as rape and murder. Their tombstones had only a number and no names. His remains were returned to his wife Antoinette in Michigan in 1987,for burial. Go to a search engine(Google) and type in 'military executions'. You will see quite a number of hits. This is one that has good info on that subject users.bestweb.net/~rg/execution.htm It said there were 19 GI's executed in the UK during WW2. Check it out and other sites to get the full story. John
