Facsimile of 1834 edition. One of the most celebrated courts martial in the British Army of the 19th Century, that of Captain Augustus Wathen, 15th King's Hussars, was for "conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman" in a matter stemming from the issue of new stable-jackets to the men of his troop. His commanding officer Lord Brudenell, later of the charge of the Light Brigade fame, was removed from the command of his regiment, and Captain Wathen was acquitted of the charges.
