A sentence promulgated in the first battalion of the Duke of Wel- Ington's Regiment at Aldershot directed that Company Quarter-| master-Sergeant William Henry Flynn, of that regiment, be reduced to the tanke, serve 84 days impri- sonment with hard labour, and be discharged with ignominy from the Army.

Flynn previous character was. unblemished during his 18 years' service. The sentence follows an Aldershot court-martial at which Flynn was found guilty on several charges of fraud and forgery in connection with pay accounts.

At the court-martial Flynn'a figures on the pay-shoot were ex- amined carefully under a strong magnifying glass.

Flyon automatically loses his home, and married quarters (ho is a married man with two children), his decorations and his prospects of a pension, to which he would have been entitled in two years time.
