London. A captain of the British Army found it difficult to eat pizza. The captain is accused of breaking the curfew near the Russian border and coming to the camp 24 minutes late. Captain’s superiors reprimanded him for breaking curfew to get pizza and returning to camp 24 minutes late. The camp’s commanding officer, Lieutenant Colonel Rupert Streetfield, imposed a strict 9 pm curfew at the start of the war in March after being angered by soldiers’ late-night movements.
According to a report in Express UK, Captain James Shearer, under trial, told the court that he did not know the timing of the curfew. Which was changed from 10:30 pm to 9 pm in May. Because he was present in an armored vehicle that week. A 31-year-old Scottish intelligence officer has been fined three days’ pay after being accused at a brief hearing by Lt Col Street field.
