HC Deb 26 November 1917 vol 99 c1636
51. Mr. HOGGE

asked the Prime Minister whether he is able to announce any new practice in notifying the death of men shot at the front; and whether the dependants of such men will in future receive any pension?

Mr. BONAR LAW

It has been arranged that in future the communications made to the dependants of soldiers shot at the front should merely state that they have died on Service. As regards the second part of the question, the matter is at present under consideration.
