§ Mr. T. M. HEALYasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether doctors wounded while attending to soldiers under fire will receive, or are entitled to, any special recognition for their bravery?
333W
§ Mr. TENNANTThe mere fact of being wounded while attending to soldiers under fire does not entitle a medical officer to special recognition for bravery, but these officers receive full recognition for valour shown, their cases being considered on the same lines as those of other officers. Any exceptional circumstances would be given their proper weight.
