asked the Secretary of State for War whether his attention has been called to the case of No. M/24766, Private E. B. Goddard, of No. 585 Company, Royal Army Service Corps, in the Rhine Army of occupation, who was given his discharge at Cologne, and is reported to Rave married a German woman and to have settled at 32, Papageien Strasse, Mulheim, Cologne, leaving his real wife and family in England to be maintained out of the rates; and whether any steps can be taken to compel Private Goddard to support his wife and family?
