HC Deb 16 April 1919 vol 114 cc2917-8W
Lieutenant-Colonel W. GUINNESS

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he will provide that active service overseas during the present War may count towards a pension in the case of men of the Territorial Force or the New Army who may join the Regular Army?

Mr. FORSTER

All mobilised service of soldiers (other than pensioners) during the present War counts as service and qualifying service towards pension, under Army Order 56, of 1919.
