HC Deb 12 May 1919 vol 115 cc1365-6W
Lieutenant-Colonel BUCKLEY

asked the Secretary of State for War if his attention has been drawn to the fact that an acting lieutenant-colonel recently demobilised has resumed his pre-war occupation of a police constable at Cardiff; if this officer holds three decorations for gallantry in the field, was mentioned three times in despatches, and wounded on six occasions; and if the War Office will take steps to find some employment for him more commensurate with his distinguished services?

Mr. CHURCHILL

The identity of the officer referred to by my hon. and gallant Friend is not known at the War Office. It was open to him, as to all temporary officers, to volunteer for service with the Army of Occupation if he so desired.
