James George Annand Forbes served in the Royal Army Medical Corps in both the Boer War and in the Great War, and was Mentioned in Despatches (London Gazette 22 June 1915). He was appointed Quartermaster, with the rank of Lieutenant, on 25 October 1918, but he was deprived of his rank of Lieutenant; his membership of the Order of the British Empire was cancelled and annulled; and he forfeited his Meritorious Service Medal ‘in consequence of his having been convicted by the Civil Powers’, 3 October 1922.

I thought the MSM might be renamed but I take it that he never returned his MBE or MSM?
