First World War Executions

EDM number 57 in 1993-94, proposed by Martin Redmond on 23/11/1993.

That this House calls upon the Government to issue pardons to those men executed by firing squad during the First World War, many murdered at the orders of their own officers, without proper trial or defence, despite being shell shocked or otherwise mentally ill, thereby removing the unfair shame and stigma suffered by their families even to this day.

This motion has been signed by a total of 100 MPs.
