Courts Martial

[Norfolk Nan]

I have a relative who did national service 1948-53-ish and was put on charge several times resulting in a courts martial and a stay in military prison.  I know all this from the service record but it's bare bones, no detail.  I'd like to know more but is there likely to be surviving documents to search for?  And if so, where do I begin?  Thank you.

I suggest you start here: https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/help-with-your-research/research-guides/courts-martial-desertion-british-army-17th-20th-centuries/

Note that some records are closed for between 30 and 100 years.
