"Lastly, there was the Field General courts-martial, which could only be convened if the accused was on active service or was stationed overseas and it was therefore not practicable to try him in any other military court" - An apparent quote from somewhere cut-n-pasted by Raggy - who expects it to be taken as gospel. Unfortunately Raggy:

1: No such animal as a Field General Courts-Martial.

2: You have a Field Court-Martial whose sentencing powers are limited with fewer officers sitting.

3: Then you have a General Court-Martial which is the highest court in the armed forces

Given that other options were freely available after the surrender of the rising General Maxwell COULD and SHOULD have taken them.

Care to tell us all just exactly how General Maxwell KNEW that the rising was definitely over in the week to ten days after the 30th April Raggy. Were there IRB and IVF units still at large elsewhere in Ireland at this time? 20x20 hindsight is a great thing isn't it Raggy, unfortunately it is not available at the time when things are happening.
