"If he was portrayed as being summarily shot there would certainly be complaints. I read that he was arrested in England on his farm."
Yes he was - that is how the account that the series is based on tells it - more liars eh
The authorities would never dream of letting soldiers go unpunished for such behaviour - ask the relatives of those who were massacred on Bloody Sunday!!
Any nearer to providing those links yet - no - didn't think so?
"official orders must have existed and should survive"
Yes they should - it's taken nearly a century for the illegal soldiers' diaries to surface - perhaps the bi-centenary!
