§ 96. Mr. G. W. H. JONESasked the Secretary of State for War whether warrant officers, non-commissioned officers, and men enlisted in the Forage Department of the Royal Army Service Corps on A.F. B 2,511a, are entitled to the war bonus of the Army of Occupation; and, if so, whether he will give instructions for the immediate payment of same to them, seeing that so far they have not received any such payment?
§ Mr. FORSTERThese men are enlisted on special terms and are paid on a civil and not an Army basis. They are consequently not entitled to the bonus provided for the Army of Occupation, but instructions are on the point of being issued granting them a substantial bonus on civilian lines.
