77. Sir F. HALLasked the Undersecretary of State for War whether he is aware that Gunner H. E. Holledge, No. 20763, who joined the Royal Field Artillery in May, 1915, has seen service in France, India, Mesopotamia, and Egypt, has now been sent back to France and has had no leave since originally going overseas; and, if so, whether, considering that his mother is dangerously ill, instructions may be given for him to be sent home on leave immediately in order that he may-have an opportunity of visiting her?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONI have to-day written to my hon. and gallant Friend about this case.
