HC Deb 27 June 1918 vol 107 c1240W
Mr. SUTTON

asked the Undersecretary of State for War whether he is aware that Private Albert Morrow, No. 34670, 71st Training Reserve, has been sent to France; is he aware that this boy is only just over eighteen years of age, and that a promise was given to the mother of the soldier, by his colonel, that he would not be sent overseas until he was nineteen years of age; is he aware that the father of this boy has been in France for over two years; and whether he will consider the question of bringing this soldier back again until he is nineteen years of age?

Mr. MACPHERSON

Instructions have been given for Private Morrow to be withdrawn from the firing line pending the result of inquiries which are being made. I will write to my hon. Friend later.
