HC Deb 30 May 1895 vol 34 c648
MR. TULLY

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War, whether he can state on what ground a special campaign pension has been refused to Philip Curran, of Derrywillow, County Leitrim, who served in the 59th Regiment, and was two years with the colours in China, and assisted at the capture of Canton, and at several other engagements?

MR. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN

The Commissioners of Chelsea Hospital do not trace any application from Philip Curran of the 59th Regiment. If the dates of the man's enlistment and discharge are communicated to the War Office, further inquiry can be made.
