HC Deb 21 March 1917 vol 91 c1896
43. Mr. BILLING

asked whether an-officer who is dismissed the Service for giving information which, though in the interests of the country, is not in the interests of his superior officers is, if he be of military age, immediately afterwards conscripted as a private soldier?

Mr. MACPHERSON

Any officer of military age, provided he is ordinarily resident in Great Britain, and has been dismissed the Service on grounds other than that of ill-health, is liable to be called up for service under the Military-Service Acts, 1916.
