HC Deb 07 November 1916 vol 87 cc65-6W
Mr. JOWETT

asked the Secretary for War if he will say whether any provision has been made by the Army Council to enable brothers called to the Colours on different dates to serve in the same regiment or unit; if so, what are the conditions and limitations under which this arrangement can be made; and what is the procedure that soldiers who are brothers must adopt if they desire to take advantage of it?

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

So far as the exigencies of the Service permit brothers are posted to the same corps or one is transferred to the corps of the other, if they so desire and apply to their commanding officers.
