Title: Judge Advocate General's Office: General Courts Martial Registers, Abroad
Description:

This series comprises registers from the Judge Advocate General's Office of general courts martial confirmed abroad from the end of the eighteenth century.

A more summary register (piece 5) lists general courts martial, 1779-1795, but before 1786 gives the names of those tried only if they were officers.
