A newspaper report from Apr 1928 headed "A Chatham Divorce" summarising a court case where Mrs Lilian Francis Harmsworth filed for divorce against her husband George Harmsworth due to his adultery and alleged cruelty. The text details marriage in 1912, military service from 1914 to 1919, and the court's decision granting Mrs Harmsworth custody of their child and decree nisi with costs.
Eight years later, in 1928, she secured an uncontested divorce on grounds of his adultery. She remarried soon after - and I hope, at last, she found stability and happiness 🌹
