Australians were protected from this by the Defence Act.
NZ wasn't.
Dr. M.F. Khan@Dr_TheHistories
Between 1914-1918, the British Army shot 306 of its own soldiers at dawn. They were led out before firing squads, blindfolded, tied to a stake, and killed by men from their own regiments. The charges ranged from desertion and cowardice to quitting a post without orders. Most of these men were volunteers, civilians who had enlisted out of patriotism and found themselves broken by conditions that no human being was designed to endure. The Western Front was not a war in any traditional sense. It was years of continuous artillery bombardment, rat-infested trenches, mass death measured in yards of mud, and the constant expectation of the next assault. Men watched their friends disintegrate beside them. They lived for months at a time without sleep in any meaningful sense. They developed shaking fits, paralysis, blindness, and complete psychological collapse. The army called it shell shock. When it manifested as an inability to return to the front, the army sometimes called it cowardice. The trials were brief and often deeply unfair. Many men were undefended or chose to speak on their own behalf, unaware of their rights. Some were convicted and executed on the same day. Officers suffering from the same conditions were frequently diagnosed with neurasthenia and given medical leave. A private soldier who broke under identical circumstances could be shot. The class divide in how shell shock was treated was stark and documented. The case that finally forced the government's hand was that of Private Harry Farr, executed for cowardice in 1916 at the age of 25. Farr had already been hospitalized for shell shock and sent back to the front before he collapsed again. His daughter Gertrude spent decades insisting her father was not a coward, eventually joining a legal challenge against the Ministry of Defence. In August 2006, when Gertrude was 93, Defence Secretary Des Browne announced a blanket pardon for all 306 men. Forty others, convicted of murder and mutiny, were excluded. The pardon took legal effect the following year under the Armed Forces Act 2006. The pardons were not without controversy. Browne's announcement included a careful caveat: the pardon did not cast doubt on the procedures or judgments of the time, and it did not cancel the original sentences. What it changed was the formal designation. The men were now to be recognized as victims of war. The Shot at Dawn Memorial at the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire had already been standing for five years by the time the pardons came. Unveiled in 2001, it depicts a young soldier blindfolded and bound to a stake. The figure was modelled on Private Herbert Burden, who had lied about his age to enlist and was seventeen years old when he was shot for desertion. Around the central figure, individual wooden stakes bear the names of each of the executed men, arranged in a semicircle. The effect is deliberately overwhelming. For many of the families, the shame had lasted nearly a century. Soldiers shot for cowardice were denied the pension their widows would otherwise have received. Their names were left off local war memorials. Their children and grandchildren grew up knowing the circumstances of the death but unable to speak of it. The pardon did not undo any of that. What it did was confirm, in law, what the families had argued for generations: that the men who broke under the weight of industrial warfare were not criminals. They were casualties, distinguished from the men buried in the official cemeteries only by the manner in which they died. #drthehistories

@ShamsCharania You racist piece of shit. You think now is the time for racist jokes because it’s April Fools? This is racist against multiple races as you’re insinuating the Chinese have a team called the Monkey Kings.

J. Cole has signed a contract to play in the Chinese Basketball Association with the Nanjing Monkey Kings, per ESPN sources. The multi-time Grammy award-winning and multi-platinum artist had committed to playing a few games for the Chinese team last year, and now follows through.

@GuruTwoey @JuseDayne @SleeperWizards Monte morris is out of the league? Because he’s not good, also you talk like an absolute arsehole
English
Monte Morris is a true playmaker Dickhead
He was the Point Guard that’s where you dudes be so lost at
If I was to ask you to put a team together a clown like you would put all scores together. Thats why the NBA is failing today
Basketball is 5 on 5 goofball
You have Bradley Beal who was you main guy coming off a 30 point season Kristaps Porzingis who played his first healthy season in years and Kuzma fresh from the Lakers and he was averaging 20
That’s your scoring options goofball. You need Monte to get the Ball up and down the court and into your Scorers hands. Which is what he was doing that year. They just had no structure Unsled was terrible

BREAKING: The Wizards have internally discussed a potential reunion with Wes Unseld Jr., as some within the organization believe he wasn’t given a full opportunity amid roster limitations and the rebuild phase.
Does WUJ deserve another shot to coach a non-tanking Wizards squad⁉️

@CrispyyyPies @Jen2310 Got both steene and Cameron who can take pack marks, probably rotate both through the forward line, ruck and backline, than back our defensive system. Parker and Allan for Moore and pendles
English
@DeeDeeJaxWB @Faazzla He’s not, for one we won’t want to, for two we are his best chance at an extension which is apparently all he wants and 3 he’s contracted for another 2 years and a player option. Their is absolutely no chance he’s not here next year

No. Anthony Davis will be suiting up with the #Wizards in October.

Anthony Davis getting moved this offseason ain’t no way he going to be apart of that team

@LewistheLight1 @Splashh_Gordon He’s a twenty year old rookie guard who’s averaging 12 ppg on a good clip from 3, who’s had a bad run with injury, missed used by coaches early on and has been on a minutes restriction for almost 3 quarter of his games, he is fine, he will be good how good is yet to be seen

@TheLDUs2023 @cenchfooty Would have to average just under 31 disposals over the next 28 games to match him something he has yet to do over a 20 game sample size

@Exambolor @beetgordon_ We haven’t nailed a midfielder pick in the draft since De Goey.

In for Pendles, and let him actually play that role, as opposed to sticking him on a wing. See what we’ve got

@KevinPorterMVP @PelicansLead For the bucks definitely, for the wizards I would trade Saddiq for young 100 percent of the time
English
@190000000ss @PelicansLead I’d rather have Saddiq bey on my team at 6 mil than Trae young at 56 mil
English
@KevinPorterMVP @PelicansLead Wizards gave up assets they didn’t want for a second round pick and Cj mcoullum and turned that into Trae young be so foreal
English
@PelicansLead People say wizards won that trade, I’d say Pels did
Bey is the best player of the deal and has the value of a first round pick
English
To the casual eye, you will see this box score and think, “Wow, this man had an all time great game!” But no? That’s not what actually transpired.
First things first, he shot 42% from the field and 20% from 3, a horrendous scoring night.
Secondly, you have to ask yourself how did he get so many assists. I will tell you. Several simple DHO’s to Jamal Murray who had 53 POINTS, and he FORCED passes to his teammates to statpad. In the 4Q, a female Denver Nuggets commentator stated that Jokic didn’t want to shoot the wide open floater, instead, he wanted to pass and find a teammate. This is shameless stat padding from a person who values numbers over winning.
Thirdly, you see he had 21 rebounds. You must wow, that’s great! But how many were defensive? That’s right, 21! 21 defensive rebounds. Now you had to ask yourself how is this possible. I will tell you. Nikola Jokic does not play ANY defense at all. He does not contest shots (this is why they nearly lost to a tanking team) and stays under the rim PRAYING the opponents miss their shots so he can grab the rebound WHICH ARE ALMOST ALWAYS UNCONTESTED.
So in conclusion, he had a horrendous shooting night, forced passes and made his teammates shoot to get him assists, went back into his non shooting gimmick, and stat padded uncontested rebounds.
This is why we watch basketball with our eyes, and not box scores or mathematic equations.

@Mattys123 Nah apparently Howe has given no reason to go straight in apparently needs week in the vfl, Allan should be given games over long cause he’s young despite Ned long being only a year older and mcstay is the worst player in the league…..

@KeithSmithNBA @sheffield_jon Bill Walton is the only one in a full season to win MVP under 65 games. I'd say the law of averages say you should be able to play 65 games, if that's the case. I agree. I love the rule. It's going to lead to less load management.
English
The NBA's 65-game rule for awards has to:
A. Be tweaked considerably
or
B. Go away entirely
I prefer B. I think the awards voters did a fine job of determining if a player had played enough games without setting these fixed thresholds to hit.
