§ Sir J. Smedley Crookeasked the Minister of Pensions whether his attention has been drawn to the serious anti-British feeling in the Taunton, Massachusetts, area, following the death of Jesse Stephenson, an American who served during the Great War in a British regiment and returned shell-shocked and unable to work; is he aware that when this man died his wife and three children were left destitute and applied to the British Consulate at Boston for financial help to bury him, which was refused, it being left to the American War Veterans' Association to provide a military burial; and whether he will make arrangements 1904W to avoid a recurrence of anything of the kind in future?
§ Mr. RamsbothamMy Department can find no trace of this case at present, but I am making further inquiries and will communicate with the hon. Member as early as possible.
