§ Captain BOWYERasked the Secretary of State for War whether a bounty of £50 was promised to every soldier who volunteered for service in Russia last year; whether, if this be so, what Department is responsible for the payment of this sum; and whether if an actual case is placed before him of refusal by the War Office to pay this sum to the father of a soldier who was killed on active service in the Russian Relief Force, he will take steps to see that immediate payment is made?
§ Sir A. WILLIAMSONNo bounty of any kind was promised to any volunteer for Russia.
