Discipline and Military Justice

This section of the site will be dedicated to providing materials related to court martials, courts of inquiry and the punishment book of the 18th Foot.

The returns of a few regimental court martials have been found within the returns of general courts martial. The Royal Irish experienced a high number of general courts martial while in America. Several have been transcribed and will be available shortly as other sections of the website are developed.

The punishment book for Shee's Detachment in Boston from late 1774 through mid-1775 was located at the National Army Museum. It was republished in the Journal for the Society of Army Historical Research (JSAHR)
