§ Major WARINGasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether there are still officers of the Regular New Army and Territorial Forces of all ranks serving at home who have seen no service overseas in this War; and, if so, whether, it unfit for service in the field, they will now be retired in order that officers with prolonged service overseas to their credit or convalescent from wounds or sickness may receive employment and change at home?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONI am informed that there are still some officers serving at home who have not seen service overseas, but steps are being taken to replace them, by officers from France who are in need or a rest. The question of getting rid of some of the unfit officers is under consideration.
