Rejected petition Pardon for all the men and boy's shot as deserter's during First World War

More details

Many men and boy's (including those too you to be legally enlisted) were shot for "cowardice" and "desertion" during the First World War. They should all be pardoned as they committed no crime but were suffering from a psychological condition. With the centenary of the outbreak of this terrible War approaching this would make a very important gesture.
