HC Deb 25 March 1919 vol 114 c195
85. Major Earl WINTERTON

asked if men who enlisted in 1915 were then discharged and re-enlisted under the Compulsory Service Acts of 1916 can be treated as if they were enlisted men from 1915 as regards eligibility for demobilisation if they fulfil the age and wound stripes conditions?

Mr. CHURCHILL

Men who enlisted prior to 1st of January, 1916, and who actually performed continuous service with the Colours and were discharged medically unfit on account of wounds or ill-health prior to that date, and who were again enlisted after that date are eligible for demobilisation.
