Greetings to all, I have not [yet] read Putkowski's book so am unable to comment about the list John recommends. However may I add the list [appendix 2] to Blindfold and Alone by Cathryn Corns and John Hughes-Wilson [Cassell 2005]. It lists all British, and Dominion ranks [including Chinese labourers] executed. The list follows the convention: Name, Rank, Unit, Execution Date, Offence, NA Reference [where applicable], Cemetery were commemorated.
