D.S.O. CANCELLED
COLONEL GUILTY OF BIGAMY. The King has directed that Herbert Allcard, late Lieut.-Colonel, Royal Field. Artillery, shall cease to be a member of the Distinguished Service Order. His name, states the Londoift Gazette, will •be erased from the register of the order in consequence of his having been convicted by the Civil Power. He is a.so removed form the Army, “the King having no further use for his services.” Allcard was sentenced at the Gid Bailey last April to six months in the second division for bigamously marrying Marie Kotlarevesky, a tall, beautiful Russian, who on March 31 last shot herself dead with a revolver. At the trial it was stated that Marie Kotlarevesky was a secretary-interpreter on Allcard’s staff on the Greco-Bulgarian Boundary Commission in 1920. He became infatuated with her, and she lived with him. She was very religious and pressed him fo go through a form of marriage in the Russian Church.
