§ Sir H. Williamsasked the Secretary of State for War what Army ranks are granted to those officers who are now approved for release from service; and in what cases is permission granted for the wearing of uniform on ceremonial occasions.
§ Sir J. GriggHonorary rank equivalent to the highest rank held during the war subject to a minimum period of six months is granted to officers on being relegated to the appropriate Reserve, or to unemployment, or when their commissions are terminated, provided that they have rendered satisfactory service during the present emergency. The wearing of uniform during the war has been restricted for security reasons to serving military personnel. In certain exceptional cases which have been referred to the War Office, retired officers or officers released from the Army have been allowed to wear uniform for particular occasions. Each case is treated on its merits.
