HC Deb 07 May 1888 vol 325 c1458
CAPTAIN M'CALMONT (Antrim, E.)

asked the Secretary of State for War, Whether the next of kin are entitled to receive prize money duo to soldiers who have died previous to the distribution of it?

THE FINANCIAL SECRETARY, WAR DEPARTMENT (Mr. BRODRICK)(who replied) (Surrey, Guildford) said

Prize money forms part of the personal estate of a soldier, and is subject to the same rules of distribution. It is not necessary that the soldier should live till the prize is distributed.
