HC Deb 16 November 1916 vol 87 c1014W
Mr. BILLING

asked the Secretary of State for War whether the Army disciplinary measure known as field punishment No. 1, popularly described as "crucifixion," is resorted to in this country when so many other forms of punishment are available, or whether it is reserved exclusively for troops in the field?

Mr. FORSTER

Field punishment No. 1 is reserved exclusively for troops in the field.
