§ 79. Mr. HOGGEasked the Financial Secretary to the War Office whether Corporal James Fraser, 6,244, 7th Cameron Highlanders, died at Cirencester on 23rd February of apoplexy; whether he had the Egyptian medal and clasp and seven first-class certificates; and whether he had been connected with the Army since 1876; whether on his last enlistment he was passed as medically fit; and what provision has been made for his widow and children?
§ Mr. TENNANTThe disease from which this man died was not considered by the medical authorities to have originated during the four months when he was on active service, and pension was therefore not granted to the widow. But I am having the case again considered and will communicate further on it with my hon. Friend.
