Kut-el-Amara (7) Court Martial of William Fratel, Asst Surgeon IMS, 1919
Kut-el-Amara (7) Court Martial of William Fratel, Asst Surgeon IMS, 1919
This high profile case was reported in the Times during 1919. It centers on allegations of ill-treatment of British soldiers(PoWs) -mostly, but not all, taken at the fall of Kut 29/4/16- against William Fratel at Bagtche camp, mainly during the period June-Sept 1916 when he was the sole British medical representative, working under a German called Dr Conus who was employed by the German railway construction company; This community is a collection of those names that appeared in the Times reports as witnesses or who were victims (or both), as well as the accused himself. The descriptions of ill-treatment in those reports are harrowing.
