HC Deb 07 March 1917 vol 91 c406W
Mr. JOWETT

asked the Under-Secrertary of State for War if there is any Army-Council instruction to prevent soldiers-over thirty-eight years of age being ordered to do drill or marches with full pack; and, if not, has he considered the probable effect of the strain imposed by this form of training on a large proportion of soldiers of this age?
