HC Deb 07 November 1916 vol 87 c62W
Sir W. ESSEX

asked the Secretary or State for India why aid is denied to the widow and children of Private G. Hemmings, Oxford and Bucks Light Infantry, No. 20227, seeing that he died while in service with his regiment at Trimulgherry, India?

Mr. FORSTER

The injury which led to this man's death was in no way due to military service. Any assistance that can be given will be a matter for the Statutory Committee, who have already been informed of the case.
