Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, whether his Department holds information on war service gratuity payments made at the end of the First and Second World Wars to service personnel drawn from the British dominions and colonies.

Following searches, no information relating to war service gratuity payments made to service personnel drawn from the British dominions and colonies at the end of the First and Second World Wars can be found.

Publicly available files held at The National Archives that originated from a number of government departments (including the Treasury, War Office, Foreign and Colonial Offices) contain potentially relevant information about First and Second World War service gratuity payments.
