M. 715 (Accts. 5b). War Office,
Sir, 12th October 1917.
I am directed to inform you that a telegram has been received in this
Office from the General Officer Commanding in Mauritius to the effect that
notification has been sent there from India stating that the accounts of the
Mauritius Labour Battalion which proceeded to Mesopotamia in May last
should be kept by the Command Paymaster, Mauritius, the case of the
Egyptian Labour Corps being quoted as a precedent.
I am to state that the intention of this Office, as previously notified to the
General Officer Commanding, Mauritius, is that these accounts should" be
transferred to the Field Controller of Military Accounts, Poona, and the
General Officer Commanding has reported that last pay certificates were
forwarded to Basra on the 27th July. This Office became aware recently
that the Egyptian Labour Corps has remained in Egypt payment, but this
was arranged locally without the foreknowledge of this Office, and is contrary
to the accepted principle that the accounts of the Mesopotamian force shall
be kept by the Indian authorities.
