HC Deb 29 February 1916 vol 80 c860
39. Mr. ROWLANDS

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether the age limit for active service has been reduced from forty-five years of age to forty-three; and has a soldier who is above the age, who has served his twenty-one years in the Cavalry before 1914, when he rejoined, a right to claim to come home for Home defence?

Mr. TENNANT

The answer to the first part of the question is in the negative, and also to the second part.
