[edit] British atrocity category

The inclusion of this article in this category has raised questions for me. From where were the militia and yeomanry recruited? The article reads as if they were locally recruited from the citizenry - is this so? The article also suggests that the executions were summarily carried out on the initiative of the local garrison, without higher authority. If both points are true, then it's less a "British" atrocity than inter-communal, in the same way as, say, Rwanda or St. Bartholomew's Day in France or, indeed, the massacres of Protestants during the 1641 Rebellion.
