Lieut.-Colonel BUCKLEYasked the Secretary of State for War if officers of the Royal Army Medical Corps serving 51W in India are precluded from resigning their commissions; and, if so, what is the reason for this?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLInstructions have been issued that Regular Royal Army Medical Corps Officers serving in India cannot be permitted to resign their commissions until the statutory date of the termination of the War. This step was rendered necessary by the fact that India is much below peace establishment, and that at present it is not possible to provide Regular Army Medical Corps Officers to replace those who were desirous of relinquishing their commissions.
