HC Deb 10 July 1946 vol 425 c96W
123. Major Bruce

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he is now prepared to issue postwar credits, together with any other sums due on discharge to Mr. T. Cheney, 143, Laburnum Grove, North End, Portsmouth, who was discharged as medically unfit for further service on 30th December, 1943, after having been a prisoner of war, and whose regimental number was 805603.

Mr. Bellenger:

His postwar credit was included in the amount paid to Mr. Cheney on his discharge in December, 1943. Like other soldiers already discharged, he was invited in September, 1945, by public announcement, to apply for the war gratuity to which he then became entitled. His application was only recently received and as soon as he has completed the form sent to him on 3rd July, and the particulars have been verified, payment of the gratuity and of a sum due in respect of overseas service leave will be made. No further sums will then be due to him from Army funds.
