§ MR. DALZIELI beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War what 909 steps are taken to inform relatives of deceased soldiers in South Africa of the amount of pay that may be due at time of decease; and whether the desirability of increased publicity will be considered by the War Office.
§ *MR. WYNDHAMCommunications of death are made at once to the next of kin in all cases in which the address is known, and they are told to apply to the War Office for anything which may be due; the amount of the estate as soon as known is distributed. Unclaimed estates of deceased soldiers are published in the Monthly Army Lists, avid at the depots, and in one or two weekly papers best adapted for the purpose.
