DECEASED FIGHTERS.
ERASURE OF RECORDS. BY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYEIGHT Received 10.30 a.m. to-dav. LONDON, Jan. 0. The Grand Jury at Birmingham carried a resolution to-day expressing the opinion that convictions recorded against soldiers and sailors killed in the Great War should be erased. The recorder, Sir Henry Maddocks, said the idea was supplied to him as one of common justice. It might also be urged that living ex-service men should receive similar .treatment. A free pardon did not remove the record of an offence, this needing an act of Parliament. —“Svdncv Sun” cable.
