Field Punishment No. 1 was used by the British Army, and sometimes also by the Australian forces, during WWI to punish troops for offences such as disobedience, failed inspections, sleeping at posts and getting drunk. Soldiers were tied full-length to a post or gun wheel, often for two hours a day (one in the morning, one in the evening) for up to 28 days. The earlier punishments of flogging had been abolished in 1881. This was a humilating form of punishment for the soldiers and the limits of it were often stretched, so that they could be placed within enemy range or the rope was too tight and restricted breathing or blood circulation.

Why are the fields of asphodel and the fields of punishment more crowded than the isles of the blest?

In Greek mythology, the Fields of Asphodel are inhabited by ordinary souls who lived neither virtuous nor wicked lives, while the Fields of Punishment are reserved for those who committed grave sins. These realms are more populated because the majority of people lead lives that fall into the gray area of morality, resulting in a fate in Asphodel. In contrast, the Isles of the Blest are reserved for exceptional souls who achieved great virtue, making them far less populated. Thus, the more common outcomes of life lead to a larger number of souls in Asphodel and Punishment compared to the rarified existence of the Isles of the Blest.


What is the underworld?

It is a place in greek myths where you go where you die. When you go you are evaluated by some dudes, and they determine whether you go to the Fields of Elysian (the place where great people like Lincoln go), the fields of asphotle (the place where your average joe would go), Fields of Punishment (where bad people go). The underworld is a place that Greeks thought you went when you died. It is neither heaven or hell, and everybody goes there when they die. The greek god Hades, son of kronos, rules the underworld.
