§ Sir PHILIP PILDITCHasked the Secretary for War if he would state exactly what part of his uniform a soldier is allowed to retain on demobilisation; and whether the same rule applies to men who are serving at home, or who are on service overseas, at the date of their demobilisation?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLThe articles of uniform a soldier may retain on demobilisation are—1 greatcoat, 1 pair boots, 1 cap, 1 jacket (service dress), 1 pair of trousers (pantaloons or knickerbockers or a kilt), 1 pair of puttees or leggings. He is required to return the greatcoat within twenty-eight days after leaving, and is refunded £1 on doing so. He is also allowed to retain his underclothing and small kit. No difference is, made between men serving at home and those on service overseas.
