§ Colonel HOWARD-BURYasked the Secretary of State for War whether, seeing that British officers who are seconded for service in the Sudan, and who are wounded on active service operations there, receive no gratuity or wound pension, he will look into the matter and put them in the same position as officers wounded during the Great War?
§ Mr. SHAWThe hon. and gallant Member is probably not aware that wound gratuities and pensions no 227W longer form part of the post-War disability code for Army officers, having been replaced by the disability element of retired pay. Officers seconded to serve in the Sudan receive exactly the same treatment if wounded as other British officers.
