Kenneth Woollcombe

Poor Kenneth got married and shipped out to India to serve in the Imperial staff. There - he made the mistake of falling in love with his colonel's wife. Worse - she fell in love with him: rather than cause a scandal, Kenneth shot himself and made it look like an accident which - for many years - people thought it was. Until the colonel's wife explained!

The only photograph we have of him is this family portrait from 1900.
