HC Deb 20 July 1916 vol 84 c1214W
Mr. T. RICHARDSON

asked the Secretary of State for War whether his attention has been called to the announcement of the first reported casualty in the Non-Combatant Corps; can he state the man's name and the cause of death; and whether the man was a resisting concientious objector or a willing member of the Non-Combatant Corps?

Mr. FORSTER

Private D. McDonald, No. 1471, 1st Scottish Company, Non-Combatant Corps, was, I am informed, found dead on the railway in France. There is no record of this man being a resisting conscientious objector. A report on the circumstances is being furnished.
