Auchinleck suffered a personal disappointment when his wife left him for his friend Air Chief Marshal Sir Richard Peirse. They had been students together at the Imperial Defence College, but that was long before. Peirse was now Allied Air Commander in Chief, South-East Asia, and also based in India. The affair became known to Mountbatten in early 1944, and he passed the information to the Chief of the RAF, Sir Charles Portal, hoping that Peirse would be recalled. The affair was common knowledge by September 1944, and Peirse was neglecting his duties. Mountbatten sent Peirse and Lady Auchinleck back to England on 28 November 1944, where they lived together at Brighton Hotel. Peirse had his marriage dissolved, and Auchinleck obtained a divorce in December 1945. The two lovers married in 1946, but Auchinleck never remarried and his papers contain no references to his wife.
