HC Deb 23 January 1918 vol 101 c970
25. Mr. HOGGE

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether, in transferring men from the Army Service Corps, Mechanical Transport, to Infantry units, any regard is had to the distinction between men who volunteered for' this service in the early days of the War and conscripts?

Mr. MACPHERSON

The considerations governing transfers arc the necessity of placing the younger and fitter men in the Infantry, and the question of volunteer or conscript does not arise.
