In 1917, Henry Stephen Canham stood trial for the murder of his unfaithful wife Gladys. Claiming that 'I did my duty as I had in France', he received sympathetic treatment from Justice Atkins at the Old Bailey. Stating that he would not issue any punishment that might be regarded as unfair or improper to a reasonable Englishman, Atkins bound over Canham in the sum of £5. No record of the murder is mentioned on Canham's military service record, and in a reference provided by the regimental office, his conduct was regarded as 'good'.
