Soldiers Pardon
Its hard to believe that people used to be executed for cowardice and desertion, that seems a bit harsh. After so many years, its good to put those ghosts to rest and let their families regain the honor lost from such an event. Now their families can go on with the knowledge that their great grand parents are no longer considered criminals by Britain.
