Courts Martial and Other Disciplinary Matters

Does anyone know if there are any files at the National Archives that list any of the above proceedings about an individual?

I'm assuming there must have been a fair bit of paperwork for anyone in the British Armed Forces that was disciplined.

Any thoughts?

The RAF keeps all it's CM or tribunal records at Trenchard house, Cranwell as far as I know Andy.

Thats where everything I ever came across was sent anyway.

 

Cheers for that. Is that for public viewing though or just storage?

What I'm specifically interested in is WW2 Army records.

Now that I can't answer I'm afraid, I would guess viewing is possible with appointment as it is the RAF central archive, but getting onto active stations is getting harder and harder these days, my last mess ball was at Leeming and I needed to send 2 recent photographs and fill in a new security form... I was more than tempted to say " stuff it "..

With the Army I would guess all CM records are kept centrally as they are of national importance, tribunal records would probably be a regimental thing?

 

Hi Andy

I was looking at some WW1 Army Court Martial files a week or so ago at Kew but I would imagine that WW2 files would be strictly closed under the 70 year rule along with the Service Records

National Archives - Register of Courts Martial 1796 - 1963 - Register of Commissioned officers 1668 - 1993. All soldiers of WW2 period would have had AF B 121 Coy/Sqn/Battery conduct sheet - AF B 120 Regimental conduct sheet, both would on discharge be sent to regimental HQ (Records). The AF B 120 would also record Courts Martial verdicts.

 

Looks like its:

WO 90

WO 92

WO 213

If anyone thinks/finds anymore feel free to add them below.
