HC Deb 26 May 1881 vol 261 c1313
MR. MOLLOY

asked the Secretary of State for War, If, in the case of Colonels who are retired compulsorily or voluntarily under the new Warrant, and who will be entitled to retire as Major Generals, he will permit them to retain the designation of Colonel should any of them express a preference for retiring with that grade?

MR. CHILDERS

Yes, Sir; by all means.
