A SALVATION Army major suspended this week "in light of evidence tendered to the royal commission" is alleged in reports dating back to 1974 to have sexually and physically abused children.

Several years before the current commission hearing, the army paid compensation to two men who alleged they were sexually abused by Major John McIver, who has denied these claims.
