djb Topic Author Away Administrator Posts: 33609 Thank you received: 5209	I have reached the Ws in the Brabant's Horse attestation papers and came across this document for Trooper Wiblin/Webline whose sentence of imprisonment with hard labour for being drunk and refusing to obey orders was commuted by 3 months because of his work during a plague outbreak around June 1901.
