HC Deb 24 July 1916 vol 84 c1346W
Mr. KING

asked the Financial Secretary to the War Office why no answer has been sent to the parent of Alec Ginsberg, 36th Division Ammunition Column, Royal Field Artillery, British Expeditionary Force, who being under seventeen years of age was claimed by his parent as being liable to discharge under Army Order 1186 of 13th June, 1916.

Mr. FORSTER

Applications of this kind should not be submitted to the War Office, but to the officer commanding the unit or the officer in charge of records, in accordance with the instructions on Army Form W. 3183, a copy of which is issued to the next-of-kin of every soldier. The application in this case was forwarded to the officer in charge of records, Royal Horse Artillery and Royal Field Artillery, on the 26th June, to be dealt with.
