§ 23. Captain KNIGHTasked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that Major E. M. Perry was gazetted to his majority in the Army Veterinary Department without having had any previous experience in that Department; whether this is contrary to Regulations; and whether he thereby became senior to many officers who have served longer in the Department than he has had experience as a veterinary surgeon?
§ Colonel SEELYThis officer, who was formerly a major in the Royal Field Artillery of the Territorial Force, was appointed to the Veterinary Corps of that force, and was gazetted major in error. The error was brought to notice at once and steps taken to correct it.
