167 – Extracts from Northern Command Orders –

            The following extract from a Supplement to the “London Gazette” of Friday, the 26^th of February, 1915, is published for information:-

The Northumberland Fusiliers.

21^st Battalion (2^nd Tyneside Scottish). – Herbert Charles Lunn to be temporary Lieutenant.  Dated 2^nd February, 1915.

SEPARATION ALLOWANCE –

            The question has been raised as to whether the stoppage of Separation Allowance under paragraph 113 (e) and (h), Allowance Regulations, should apply during the present war in the cases of admission of soldiers’ wives and children into Military Families’ Hospitals or Civil Hospitals, and that it has been decided as follows:-

1. Where the wives and families are in barracks, there is no reason for departing from the present regulations.
2. In other cases, any necessary hospital treatment will ordinarily be obtained by the wives and families by the usual civil means, and no payment from public funds will be made for such treatment in view of the fact that Separation Allowance is being drawn.  In the few cases in which the wives and families on the married establishment may possibly be admitted into a military hospital, Separation Allowance may be continued, but an abatement will be made in respect of hospital treatment and maintenance at the rate of 6d. a day.
