HC Deb 29 April 1914 vol 61 cc1711-2W
Major ARCHER-SHEE

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that First Air Mechanic P. C. Strickland, Royal Flying Corps, was discharged medically unfit on the 8th July, 1913; that this man has since been admitted into Hanwell Asylum suffering from acute neurasthenia; and that he was the principal support of his mother, a widow; and whether, in view of the fact that the neurasthenia is stated by doctors to be due to shock received while on duty from the sight of a fatal accident, a small pension may be granted under Article 11G6, Royal Warrant?

Mr. TENNANT

Inquiry is being made. I will communicate with the hon. and gallant Member as soon as a decision has been arrived at.
