Court Martial Brussels 1945
« on: Tuesday 01 June 21 19:31 BST (UK) »
We are trying to find out the details of a court martial for somebody that was in MI9 IS9 WEA and then moved to we think RASC.  In 1945 we think the court martial was held in Belgium for a Sjt Harry Wilfred Sykes (deceased).
We have documentation that shows it exists but we need to try to work out where we can find out the details of the reason of the court martial and the outcome.  Can anybody help point us in the right direction.  Family stories say it was for theft of money but we would like to check  Thanks to anyone that can help.

Someone I knew sent for their father’s WW2 U.K. army records. They showed he’d been court
martialled, the reason for it and the ruling of the court martial.  Do you have the gentleman’s army papers?
