A permanent “D” provided recruiting officers with physical evidence that a prospective recruit had previously deserted.

The mark could remain long after a soldier had served his punishment and even after he had left military life altogether.

A deserter could leave his regiment, change his name, travel elsewhere, and attempt to enlist again.

Because enlistment sometimes came with financial incentives, some men apparently deserted and reenlisted repeatedly.

He could carry permanent evidence of his offense on his own skin.

The Army marked deserters with a capital “D,” creating an indelible sign that could identify the man for the rest of his life.

Desertion created a peculiar problem in an age before fingerprints.

Did you know?

In the Victorian era, the British Army could permanently mark a deserter's body with the letter “D”?

Women associated with the growing women's movement argued that unmarried women did not need to become wives to be useful members of society.

They needed access to education, employment, adequate wages, property, and the ability to support themselves.

#Victorian #history #women #feminism

Rather than questioning a society that restricted women's education, employment, property rights, and economic independence, many questioned what Britain was supposed to do with all the women who might never become wives.
