HC Deb 10 July 1917 vol 95 c1755W
Mr. MORRELL

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War if he will make inquiries as to the condition of the soldiers now stationed at Park Hall Camp, Oswes-try; whether he is aware that some of the men belonging to K Company, 1st Lancashire Battalion, are said to be stone deaf, one-eyed, and short-legged; and if he will consider whether such men would be of more use to the country in civilian occupations?

Mr. MACPHERSON

No such complaints regarding the condition of the soldiers stationed at Park Hall Camp have reached the War Office. Steps have been taken to expedite the discharge from the Army of men who are no longer fit for military service.
