Colonel Sir H. GREENWOOD

asked the Minister of National Service whether he is aware that Mr. F. J. Carnell, late sergeat-major, first-class warrant officer was discharged from the Durham Light Infantry on 15th December, 1915, on termination of engagement after twenty-six years' service; that he has now been medically examined and placed in Grade 1; and whether, in the event of his being called to the Colours, he will be given the rank which he held on leaving the Service, as is provided for by Army Council Instruction No. 640, paragraph 39?

Mr. MACPHERSON

My right hon. Friend has asked me to reply to this question. If accepted, he will be given his former rank.
