Schurch was the only British soldier executed for treachery committed during the war.[1] However, Duncan Scott-Ford, a merchant seaman, was also hanged for treachery, and New-Zealand-born Captain Patrick Stanley Vaughan Heenan of the British Indian Army was convicted of espionage, and shot by a guard. Harold Cole, a British POW who betrayed the French Resistance, was shot dead by the French police during January 1946, a month after he escaped from custody.
