During the first world war many british soldiers were shot for cowardice, some as young as 17, it has been?

that was so long ago would anyone in their family really know them now? no cause then been dead to long. i think that they should say sorry. what's it going to hurt? it takes what a whole few minutes out of their life to say sorry? if you get the small stuff out of the way people have time to focus on bigger things.
