A TOP male lecturer at Sandhurst who taught Princes William and Harry has won his own war ? to be a woman.
Officer Cadets returned to the elite military academy for a new term yesterday to find pipe-smoking Dr Aryeh Nusbacher is now Lynette.Dr Nusbacher, 40 ? already tagged “Mrs Gunfire” ? is believed to have had the sex change op in the past few weeks.
On top of giving her the title of Ma’am, cadets have been ordered to treat her with full respect.
Sandhurst’s Commandant, Major General Peter Pearson, has warned that any jokes or snide remarks by pupils or staff will be severely punished.
The US-born professor, married with a young daughter, is still living with wife Melanie and family in nearby Guildford, Surrey.
A friend of Lynette’s said: “She’s a very brave girl.
“A stiff upper lip military environment such as Sandhurst is about the hardest place to come out.”
As well as teaching at Sandhurst the professor is known to viewers of the BBC2 war game show Time Commanders and History Channel documentaries.
Her wife said yesterday: “She does not wish to talk to you about a private matter.”
