HC Deb 08 March 1916 vol 80 cc1551-2W
Mr. CROOKS

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether a man certified as medically unfit on Army Form B 2,512A by an officer of the Royal Army Medical Corps at a recruiting office since the 14th of August last is entitled to an armlet; and, if so, does the man in accepting the armlet render himself liable for subsequent examination with a view-to any form of Army service?

Mr. TENNANT

An armlet is only given to men who have been rejected as medically unfit if, on re-examination, they are found to be suffering from serious organic disease. If, on re-examination, they are not found to be so suffering, they are attested, and classified in their category in the Reserve.
