An MBE-winning major who blamed his mid-life crisis for defrauding the Army out of £13,000 has been sacked from the forces.
Major Lloyd Hamilton, who illegally claimed taxpayers money to send his children to one of the UK s most expensive boarding schools, argued his special domestic circumstances were enough to prevent dismissal.
The 47-year-old Royal Engineer, who has an MBE for charity work, was stationed in Cyprus when he duped the MoD by illegally claiming for private school fees.
