§ 60. Sir BERTRAM FALLEasked the Under-Secretary of State for War if he is aware that No. 6763, Regimental-Quartermaster-Sergeant J. Healy, Royal Artillery, of 45, Lynton Grove, Portsmouth, aged forty-five, who served in France as battalion quartermaster-sergeant, has been discharged out of the Service while still perfectly sound and in good health; if he is aware that J. Healy holds the long-service and good conduct medals, having completed twenty-two years' service in November last, when he was discharged; 755 against his wish from the service of his country; and if he will have the matter inquired into, and reinstate the regimental quartermaster-sergeant, inasmuch as healthy men of twenty years' service who possess the good conduct medal must be more valuable in the Service than out of it?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONThis warrant officer, although discharged with an exemplary character, was not given an opportunity of re-engaging as a warrant officer, as he was considered lacking in certain qualities essential to a warrant officer's rank.
