Dear Forum,
I am looking for any available information about a British disciplinary facility or unit in the PAI Force ( Persia and India Force ). I am not sure if it was located or deployed in India or where in that theater of operations. Its commander for a time was a British officer in the Indian Army, an acting Lieutenant Colonel or Major. I have found there is scarce information about this type of units in the British Army in WWII but films like "The Hill " with Sean Connery encourage me to keep digging.
Any help will be appreciated
Cheers !
British disciplinary unit in the PAI Force around 1943

Hi
Having a facility is entirely feasible and in fact I'd be surprised if there wasn't, in any theatre.
Even today the British military have such a facility.

However, the existence of a military unit, akin to say German or Russian penal units would be new to me.
