§ 11. Colonel DAYasked the Secretary of State for War whether he has any records showing the exact number of 2069 Crimean veterans who are at present living; whether they are in receipt of pensions; and, if so, the amount?
§ The FINANCIAL SECRETARY to the WAR OFFICE (Commodore Douglas King)I regret that I am unable to say how many Crimean veterans are still living. They are not necessarily in receipt of pensions, nor would it be possible to state, without considerable labour, how many of the existing pensioners served in the Crimea.
