Kluang court martial 1946
Following four months confinement, some of the newly released paratroopers, their sentences quashed, are seen here with the wife of a newspaper correspondent. In May 1946, at the Muar Camp in Malaya, over 250 privates refused to obey orders and were later charged with mutiny. Three were acquitted, eight sentenced to five years penal servitude and the rest two years imprisonment. When news reached the UK, two days after sentencing, the Judge Advocate-General quashed the sentences due to irregularities that made the trial unsatisfactory. Date: 1946
