Captain COOPERasked the Secretary of State for War whether it is necessary for a lieutenant of the Special Reserve, holding a certificate E 511 of the Chelsea School of Instruction to pass any further examination to qualify for the rank of captain?
§ Mr. HALDANEA certificate on Army Form E 511 did not, of itself, qualify a lieutenant of the Militia for promotion to the rank of captain, and therefore it does not exempt the holder from the examination required by paragraph 256 of the Regulations for the Special Reserve of Officers.
Captain COOPERasked whether an officer having a combined commissioned service of over fifteen years in the Volunteers, Militia, and Special Reserve, is entitled to the privileges described in paragraph 109, Special Reserve Regulations?
§ Mr. HALDANEThe reply is in the affirmative.
