§ 14. Mr. Grovesasked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that Stanley Charles Chorley, 72, Stopford Road, E.13, possessing the use of only one eye, was passed Grade; 2, and on being asked his choice of the forces, decided Ordnance Corps, but has received orders to go to Devizes, on anti-aircraft searchlights; and whether he will cause investigation of this matter?
§ Mr. Hore-BelishaA man with one good eye may be placed in Grade II, and anti aircraft units are open to Grade II men. 171 The number of men who chose the Royal Army Ordnance Corps was much in excess of the requirements of that Corps, and a selection had to be made of those whose qualifications seemed most suitable.
