HC Deb 08 May 1919 vol 115 c1141W
Colonel WEDGWOOD

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that Lieutenant W. O. Poyser, l/5th North Staffordshire Regiment, has been demobilised without wound gratuity, although his wounds were pronounced on final examination on 3rd April at Stoke war hospital to be in final stationary condition; and why this man is to receive no wound gratuity or pension?

Mr. FORSTER

In order to satisfy the conditions for a wound gratuity the wound must have been held to be very severe.
