§ Mr. WATTasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether, seeing that it is the rule of his Department that no soldier who has been wounded for the third time is sent back to the firing line, he is aware that a soldier named Urquhart, at present stationed at Invergordon, who has been thrice wounded, is again under orders for active service; and will he see that such orders are countermanded?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONNo such rule, as is suggested, exists, and I would refer my hon. Friend to my reply on the 23rd October to a question on the subject asked by my hon. and gallant Friend the Member for Sunderland. The present military situation is such that all men fit for combatant service are required overseas.
