Picture No	10645893
Date	1946
Description	Kluang court martial 1946
Details	Some of the paratroopers, convicted of mutiny, pictured following their release. ~~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. The sentencing led to an outcry in the U.K. and M.P.s challenged the War Minister with regard to the legality of the trial. Two days after sentencing, the Judge Advocate-General quashed the sentences due to irregularities that made the trial unsatisfactory.
