Colonel BURNasked the Secretary of State for War if he will reward those officers with a step in honorary rank who, owing to age, were unable to serve abroad, but who voluntarily gave their services for the training of men at home?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLUnder Army Order 376, of 1918, officers who gave their services for training soldiers at home are eligible for the retention of any acting or temporary rank they may have held for1544W six months during the War. I do not consider it desirable to grant these officers more favourable treatment in the matter of rank than other officers who served overseas.
