§ Mr. REMERasked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that Lance-Sergeant Harold Beech, No. 243033, D Company, 2nd King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry, was promoted to that rank on the field for gallantry in action on 3rd May, 1917; whether he is aware that, despite the fact that he has been drawing lance-sergeant's pay to the date of his discharge in January, 1918, he has been discharged as a lance-corporal, which deprives him of several advantages both as to pension pay and Service gratuity; and whether he will undertake to have this matter adjusted?
Captain GUESTI am having inquiry made in this case, and will communicate the result to my hon. Friend as soon as possible.
