HC Deb 13 May 1919 vol 115 c1468W
Sir L. HARMSWORTH

asked the Secretary of State for War whether the gratuity sanctioned under Army Order 17, 1919, is payable to the widows or other dependants of men who were killed or died from disease due to service in 1914–15?

Mr. FORSTER

The War gratuity granted for service since 4th August, 1914, forms part of the estates of deceased men and is payable to their legal representatives, legatees, or next-of-kin, as the case may be.
