§ Major NALLasked the Secretary of State for War why the day on which soldiers who are Post Office employés are demobilised is counted as one of the twenty-eight days' furlough to which they are entitled?
Captain GUESTThe date on which a soldier's demobilization furlough begins is that which is stamped on his protection certificate, but, in order to ensure that before such furlough begins a particular soldier shall have completed the journey to his home, orders were issued in the early stages of demobilisation that protection certificates should be dated for the day following that on which he left a dispersal station. No differences are made.
