Description   The first comprehensive account of the office of Provost Marshal. The brutality of Wellington's Provost Marshals in the Peninsula earned them the nickname 'Bloody Provost'. Their cruelties were legendary, especially in Ireland, and it was not without reason that Sir George Bowes complained that he was little better than a hangman. From America, the Caribbean, Canada and Delhi, this book describes the evolution of the Provost Marshal from dreaded State Officer to today's Commander of Military Police. Originally a Provost Marshal was a Chief Police Officer in the Royal Household, but is now a Service appointment.
