BARONET'S UNPAID RATES
DISTINGUISHED SOLDIER When Sir Alfred Rawlinson, D.5.0., was summoned at Willesden the other day in respect of unpaid rates, he declared that he was quite unable to pay. (The warrant officer stated that Sir Alfred had no goods on which to distrain, and he owed the council another £3O for electric light. The magistrate remarked that he was sorry to see a man of such distinguished service in that sad position. He had no alternative but to commit him to prison for 14 days, but the committal would be suspended for 14 days. Sir Alfred Rawlinson, who is a brother of the late General Lord Rawlinsop, was born in 1867, and served in the war as commander in the. R.N.V.R., and as lieutenant-colonel in the R.G.A., being four times mentioned in despatches. He was also awarded the C.M.G. and C.8.E., and the DiS.O. for his war services. In 1919 he went on a special mission to Erzerum, and was kept prisoner in Turkejr from 1920 to 1921«
