§ Mr. LawsonApplication for military assistance for this purpose should be made to:The Commander, H.Q. Sussex and Surrey Sub-District, The Welkin, Lind-field, Hayward's Health, Sussex. I should, however, emphasis that, although such assistance may be given if troops happen to be available in the areas concerned, the liability of the War Department is limited to the payment of compensation under the Compensation (Defence) Act, 1939.
