HC Deb 09 April 1919 vol 114 c2058W
Mr. MOSLEY

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that men whose protection certificates have been marked for final demobilisation are subsequently transferred to the Reserve; and whether it would be possible to mark the protection certificate correctly, in order to afford the man the fullest possible information as to his future position and liabilities?

Mr. CHURCHILL

I am not aware of any cases in which protection certificates have been wrongly marked. If, through a clerical error or inadvertence, any certificates have been marked for "Final demobilisation" instead of "Transfer to the Reserve," it is the business of the record office concerned to rectify the error and transfer the man in question to the Reserve. Each man receives a copy of a soldiers' booklet, which contains the necessary information for the soldier.
