POLICE were called when a fight broke out between a lesbian couple who were the first gay soldiers to marry.
Officers were called at 3am to Marne Barracks, in Catterick Village, North Yorkshire, to an incident involving Sonya Gould and Vanessa Haydock.
The couple - privates with the Royal Logistic Corps - hit the headlines in February when they became the first gay Army couple to wed under new civil partnership laws.
Love first blossomed two years ago as the pair trained in Pirbright, Surrey. Vanessa proposed marriage just two months after they started dating, but Sonya turned her down at that time as she was unsure.
Sonya revealed the romance was initially frowned upon after the pair were caught in bed together by a senior officer.
After their marriage, Vanessa said: "We want to be together for ever."
A spokesman for North Yorkshire Police confirmed that a 19-year-old woman was given a formal caution for assault following an incident at the barracks in the early hours of Friday.
The Army declined to comment.
