HC Deb 18 July 1856 vol 143 c1032
MR. MONTAGU CHAMBERS

said, he wished to ask the hon. Under Secretary for War whether the same gratuity awarded to the men of the Army Works Corps, on their discharge from the service, would be given to the artificers of the Land Transport Corps?

MR. FREDERICK PEEL

said, the two corps stood on a different footing. The Army Works Corps had been engaged under a special arrangement, with a promise that they should receive this gratuity, but the Land Transport Corps were enlisted like all other ranks in the army, were attested, and received a bounty.
