asked the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies if he will consider the question of giving some war bonus or gratuity to the rank and file of the Nigerian troops who served in the Cameroons and German East Africa?

Lieut.-Colonel AMERY

It has been decided to grant a war gratuity at half the rates laid down, for British rank and file in Army Order 17 of 1919 to all native rank and file of the West African Frontier Force, which includes the Nigeria Regiment. This decision was communicated to the West African Governments by telegram on the 19th of June.
