Abstract

This study presents stories of soldiers in the Australian Imperial Force (AIF) during World War 1 who were court-martialled for desertion and sentenced to death. The stories were uncovered by extracting information about each soldier from their individual service record, records of court martial and historical accounts. This thesis is the first analysis of Australian courts martial for desertion showing how it emerged from the military structure and how it existed in the military and broader social context.
