Strange tale this, a Sgt Pollington went off the rails in Dublin in 1920 and murdered two other sergeants, one of whom as was Sgt Thomas Downton 5239113 of 2nd Worcestershire Regt.
The details of the shooting at

The Army seem to have brought in military censorship in the middle of Pollington's trial, and I could never find the verdict. Pollington certainly was about 5 years later and died many years later.
I wonder if any researchers or relatives of Sgt Downton have any more on this
