An Army major general who dishonestly claimed £48,000 for his children's boarding school fees has been jailed.
Nick Welch, 57, claimed to live in London rather than Dorset, near their schools.
Welch was convicted of fraud by a panel of senior officers after a four-week trial at Bulford Military Court and handed a 21-month sentence.
He is believed to be the most senior officer to be court-martialled since 1815.
Judge Advocate Gen Alan Large also sentenced Welch to retrospective dismissal from the Army, meaning he can no longer benefit from his rank of retired major general.
