HC Deb 12 November 1914 vol 68 cc169-70W
Mr. FALLE

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War if he is aware that William Lodge, pensioner, Royal Army Medical Corps, of 163, Wingfield-street, Portsmouth, was asked in June-July if he would come up for mobilisation if and when wanted; that he replied in the affirmative; and that he was so called up on 3rd August to serve for the period of the War, giving up his civilian employment, till 3rd November, when he was sent for, paid up to date, and discharged, and his place taken by Home Hospital Reservists, who serve for less money; and if any compensation will be paid to William Lodge or if he will be re-employed, he being a married man with seven children?

Mr. TENNANT

The War Office has no information on this matter, but I am having inquiries made.
