Is my hon. Friend aware that this man lost his speech and hearing in the trenches in Gallipoli, and that his Ministry asked me for the evidence of someone who saw what happened in 1915? I found that evidence, and now this man has been refused a pension on the ground that he did not see shrapnel enter his head.
