§ 74. Captain BOWYERasked whether, in the case of a serving soldier who obtained a temporary commission from the ranks during the War, it was necessary for such a soldier to be discharged before his commission could be granted him; and whether this discharge was considered to be a break in his service for the purpose of assessing pensions and retired pay?
