§ Mr. PROTHEROasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether a man who has been transferred from an English unit to an Irish unit, and has been discharged for sickness or wounds, must go to Ireland in order to receive his discharge from the depot of the Irish regiment to which he has been transferred?
§ Mr. TENNANTNo, Sir. The discharge of a soldier who is no longer physically fit for war service is not carried out at his depot, but by the officer in charge of records. He does not attend the Record Office for this purpose. Once his discharge is approved, he is sent direct to his home, irrespective of where he happens to be serving.
