Oof, the only thing worse than trying to navigate one’s OWN country’s GovDocs is trying to navigate ANOTHER country’s. ProQuest has an extensive collection of digitized parlimentary papers, but, paywall. Hansard seems to be the equivalent of the Congressional Record but no one seems to have bothered reading out the tables in Cmd. 6419 into the record as they did Cmd. 6105.

(I deleted an earlier post in which I blithely linked to the Hansard recapitulation of the tables from Cmd. 6105 which is NOT what you asked for.)

Medically retired: the reality (in the 1940s)

During the course of my WIP, someone on active service is going be injured in the course of duty to the extent of being invalided out of the forces. (It won't be Andrew. Please do calm down.) I need to get some idea of what the character can look forward to in terms of Government support.

To that end, I've read four magazine articles from the war years and the immediate post-war period detailing the work of various branches of the military, and that of the Ministry of Health in providing rehabilitative services; four late 20th- and early 21st-century scholarly articles discussing various aspects of the matter; and so many British newspaper articles from the 1940s that I've lost count.

And yet I've still got questions. They are boldfaced and bullet-pointed below.

The single most informative source that I've found is an article from The Times of September 20th, 1939 (on page 4, if anyone wants to have a look), that offers some granular data on what was in the then-current Royal Warrant on pensions, Cmd. 6105. It contains some fascinating information. Among other things, the common-law wife — "a woman living with him as his wife," as the article puts it — of a disabled soldier, sailor, or airman was entitled to exactly the same amount as a woman to whom he actually was married would have been, and the children of such a relationship were on the same footing as those born within wedlock. (This apparently wasn't the case if the man was killed in action, however.) Not only that, but the widowers of military personnel who were killed in action — as more than 700 servicewomen would be during the course of the war — were entitled to pensions of up to £60 pounds per year.

Of course, that was a mere fraction of what a war widow could expect! Julie Anderson states — in "British Women, Disability and the Second World War," Contemporary British History 20:1 (March 2006), 37-53 — that military pensions for women were two-thirds the amount of those for men of the equivalent rank and in the same medical situation, and while I haven't actually been able to corroborate this in any of the primary sources I've read, it does seem like a reasonable statement. (It reflects what they were paid, after all.)

Additionally, that 1939 article describes the Royal Warrant, Cmd. 6105, that had recently gone into effect. I've learned that it was greeted with an outcry, as the pensions were only slightly larger than they had been at the end of World War 1. It was superseded in mid-1940 by Cmd. 6205, but apparently that wasn't enough, because in mid-1943 — just as my WIP is getting underway — that was replaced by Cmd. 6419. I haven't been able, however, to find any figures from that last Royall Warrant.

Does anyone know where I could get a look at the text of Cmd. 6419?

In any case, the 1939 Times article uses some language that I need to sort out. First of all, it refers to "Regular" and "non-Regular" personnel.

Does this mean people who were making a career in the military, as opposed to those who volunteered or were called up?

If it doesn't, what does it mean?

Secondly, all of the monetary figures the article cites are what people were entitled to in the case of 100% disablement. Obviously, not all war-related disablement was total. Let's take the most obvious example:

Milner is fitted up with a prosthetic leg and goes back to his old job. What percent disablement was the loss of one limb?

If the disabled person was able to get back into work, was the pension discontinued?

And finally, since I'm a completist:

If a single woman receiving a disability pension got married, was her pension discontinued? (I have a feeling that I'm not going to like the answer to that one ...)

Heartfelt thanks in advance, as always.
