§ Mr. Bartlettasked the Secretary of State for War whether the rules for the promotion of Regular officers apply to short-service commissioned Regular officers.
§ Mr. BellengerShort service Regular commissions are granted in the substantive rank equivalent to the war substantive rank previously held and officers holding such commissions are not at present eligible for time promotion. They are, however, granted higher paid acting and temporary rank so long as the wartime promotion code is in operation while filling an appointment carrying higher rank.
