§ MR. FLYNNI beg to ask the Secretary of State for War if there are many men who suffered the loss of leg or arm in the Crimean Campaign now in receipt of pensions; what is the average pension granted to a man who lost a leg in that campaign; and if the War Office Authorities will take into consideration the case of Maurice O'Donoghue, pensioner from the 19th Foot, now an inmate of Kanturk Workhouse, county Cork, aged 62, with a view to increasing his present insufficient pension of 10d. a day?
§ MR. WOODALLMany men were pensioned for the loss of a leg or an arm during the Crimean Campaign; but I am not aware how many of them are still alive. The average pension which the Chelsea Commissioners then awarded for the loss of a leg was 10d. a day if the leg was amputated below the knee; 1s. a day if above. The Commissioners refused Maurice O'Donoghue an increase of pension in 1890; but they will reconsider his case if it can be shown that the suffers increased disability from the loss of his leg.
