Twin fails to take inheritance from surviving partner
The twin brother of a gay British soldier who left a six-figure-fortune to his partner has failed in his High Court bid to get the money for himself. Harry Marks, 63, a project manager, claimed Stephen Smith had either forged the will or taken advantage of his brother. Smith met Peter Marks when they were in the army together in Germany in 1977. They began a secret relationship that would last for 26 years and resulted in Smith being booted out of the Army. In 1980, Smith was court-martialled and pleaded guilty to save the career of his partner.
