§ 27. Mr. JOWETTasked, concerning the case of a soldier who enlisted in 1914, served in Flanders for six months in 1915, and was drafted from there direct to Salonika, where he has suffered from three separate attacks of malarial fever, whether, having regard to the fact that the soldier in question has been on active service overseas for over three years without a leave and is now in a weak state of health, he is willing to recommend that an extended leave should be granted providing that the facts are as stated and if the necessary particulars for the purpose of identification are sent to him?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONSoldiers serving at Salonika who have suffered from malarial fever are sent to this country, if such a course be considered desirable by the medical authorities. I am afraid that I cannot take any special action in a particular case such as that mentioned by my hon. Friend, but I can assure him that this man's state of health will receive every consideration, having regard to the facts of the case.
