Some of the accused privates of the 13th Battalion Parachute Regiment in the Muar mutiny case are escorted by military police across Kluang Airfield during the court martial. In May 1946, at the Muar Camp in Malaya, over 250 privates refused to obey orders and were later charged with mutiny. Three were acquitted, eight sentenced to five years penal servitude and the rest two years imprisonment. When news reached the UK, two days after sentencing, the Judge Advocate-General quashed the sentences due to irregularities that made the trial unsatisfactory.
