In 1917 he requested that the allowance to his wife should be stopped, due to her "leading an immoral life" but no details are given. To add to the confusion, page 183902 is the record of another man's unfaithful wife!

This is filed in the WW1 Service Records (WO 363) under the name MARSH.
I have no connection - just raising awareness for any GORDON descendants ...
