Edith Cavell was arrested on the 5th of August 1915 by local German authorities and charged with having personally aided in the escape of some two hundred such soldiers.in solitary confinement for nine weeks the Germans successfully extracted a confession from Edith, this formed the basis of her trial, she, along with a named Belgian accomplice Philippe Baucq, were duly pronounced guilty and sentenced to death by firing squad. The sentence was carried out on 12 October 1915 without reference to the German High Command.
