§ 73. Mr. HOHLERasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether the members of the St. John's Ambulance Brigade, coming from all parts of the country, who have volunteered for service and joined the Royal Army Medical Corps complain that the conditions on which they undertook to serve have been broken by the War Office; for instance, the St. John's 1263 Ambulance Brigade, Sheffield Corps, before volunteering were assured by their officers, Commissioner H. C. Chambers and Commandant O. F. Buxton, that their pay at home would be 1s. 10d. a day; that at Fort Pitt Hospital, Chatham, they received a like assurance from Paymaster-Lieutenant L. Else; that on the faith of these assurances they signed their engagements; that they received 1s. 10d. a day from the 23rd of September, 1914 to the 13th of November, 1914; and that after that date their pay was reduced to 1s. 6d. a day, from which the alleged over-payment of 4d. is deducted; and will he take steps to make good the promise made to these men who are highly trained and have made great sacrifices to serve their country?
