Death of Frederick John White
- ... that the 1846 death of Frederick John White after a flogging (pictured) led the Duke of Wellington to order that sentences not exceed 50 lashes? "Less than a week after the end of the inquest, the Duke of Wellington established a limit of fifty lashes to be given for military corporal punishment." from: Garrisi, Diana (3 February 2015). "What actually happens when you get flogged". New Statesman. Retrieved 24 August 2020.
- ALT1:... that three autopsies were carried out into the death of Frederick John White, unusual for a private in the British Army in 1846? "This gave Wakley the opportunity to call for a third postmortem examination with the assistance of Erasmus Wilson, who was also a surgeon by training. Harry Hopkins has observed that not often has such a range of medical expertise been employed for the inquest on a private soldier." from: Garrisi, Diana (November 2015). "On the skin of a soldier: The story of flogging". Clinics in Dermatology. 33 (6): 695. doi:10.1016/j.clindermatol.2014.12.018. ISSN 1879-1131.

A fascinating (and unsettling) subject matter and a fine article. New enough and long enough, no copyvio, QPQ is done. Both hooks are interesting and referenced (the first one's source I can access, the second one's I accept in good faith). I prefer the first hook. The image is public domain and has a caption.
