HC Deb 25 May 1911 vol 26 cc580-1W
Captain FABER

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether No. 1584 Private Alfred Sturgess, late of the 1st Hants Regiment, who served nine years and is in possession of the Burmah medal and clasp, and who was invalided owing to sunstroke in India, can now obtain the extra halfpenny a day pension which was promised him for service with the Reserve during the South African war, seeing that he can obtain no employment owing to constant fits, the result of sunstroke whilst serving?

Colonel SEELY

Alfred Sturgess has received the extra halfpenny for service in the Royal Reserve Regiment for the last ten years. There is no record of his suffering from sunstroke during the Army service.
