During World War I, approximately 306 British soldiers were executed by the British military, primarily for desertion and cowardice. These executions were carried out under military law, and many of the soldiers were suffering from the psychological effects of war. In later years, there has been increasing recognition of the injustices faced by these soldiers, leading to calls for posthumous pardons and memorials.
