No. 257.-It is hereby notified that the Imperial Government are prepared, in cases of proved hardship, to grant free passages to this country for the widows and orphans of reservists who were re-called from abroad on mobilisation, and who have died while serving during the War.
A free passage will be granted only if the wife had emigrated within three years of her husband's death, though the Treasury would be prepared to allow, exceptionally, free passages in the case of tropical Colonies in cases of emigration over three years before the husband's death. Free passages for children will be granted only in cases where their mother is returning to England, or where they are orphans.
