Field Punishment No. 1 comprised a British Army punishment imposed for minor offences such as drunkenness, and was often applied during the First World War. A most humiliating form of punishment which continued into the late 1920s, Field Punishment No.1 saw the soldier in question attached standing full-length to a fixed object - either a post or a gun wheel - for up to two hours a day (often one hour in the morning and another in the afternoon) for a maximum of 21 days. An earlier punishment by flogging had been earlier abolished within the British Army in 1881. Field Punishment No. 2 comprised a British Army punishment imposed for major offences such as defying an order and was often applied during the First World War.

the form of punishment was to face the firing squad
