HC Deb 05 July 1915 vol 73 c35
64. Colonel YATE

asked the Under-Secretary for War whether, in view of the fact that in twelve field ambulances and three casualty stations now at the front, in which by the War establishment strength there should be thirty majors, there are now only two majors actually employed and these two are doing the work of lieutenant-colonels, he will take steps to remedy the deficiency by promoting the requisite number of captains, Royal Army Medical Corps, to the rank of major?

Mr. TENNANT

The promotion of a considerable number of captains is already under consideration.
