HC Deb 01 May 1900 vol 82 c420
MR. SWIFT MACNEILL

I beg to. ask the Under Secretary of State for War whether a bounty of £2 per head is given to men in other regiments of Foot Guards as an inducement to join the new regiment of Irish Guards.

* MR. WYNDHAM

Yes, Sir. A gratuity of £2 is usually given to soldiers volunteering to be transferred from one corps to another and will be granted in this case.
