HC Deb 18 July 1912 vol 41 c552W
Major WHITE

asked the Secretary of State for War if men who served in British regiments in repelling the Fenian raids in Canada are entitled to the grant of 100 dollars granted by the Canadian Government; and, if so, to whom should application be made by those concerned?

Mr. HARCOURT

A Canadian Act of this year "to authorise a bounty to Volunteers who served the Crown during the Fenian Raids" empowers the Governor in Council to grant 100 dollars to every Volunteer living at the time of the passing of the Act, which confines the Grant to Canadian Militia Corps. It does not extend to officers and men of the Regular Army.
