"For legal reasons I cannot comment on the photographs while a Court Martial is continuing. We will, however, be in a position to respond more fully once the verdict has been handed down and any sentences passed. In the meantime, I then repeat what we have said in the past about abuse. We condemn utterly all acts of abuse. Where there is evidence of abuse, this is immediately investigated."

"General ‘Jacko’ served with distinction for over 40 years, finishing his career as Chief of the General Staff. He will be greatly missed, and long remembered. Utrinque Paratus," it added.
