Major Sir B. FALLE

asked the Secretary of State for War if those officers who. served in our Army and were later transferred to the United States or the French Army will he given honorary rank in our Army and permitted to use the same?

Mr. CHURCHILL

Officers formerly in the British Army who were permitted to join the United States or the French Army resigned their commissions in the British Army prior to being recommissioned in the Forces of our Allies. On resigning their British commissions they are eligible, provided their service was satisfactory, for the retention of the rank held by them in the British Army under the provisions of Army Order 376 of 1918.
