asked the First Lord of the Admiralty how many warrant shipwrights have been recommended for promotion on the ground of special services in the War and how many of these have in fact received promotion?

Four commissioned shipwrights and four teen warrant shipwrights have been specially recommended for promotion on the ground of special services in the War. Of these, one commissioned shipwright and six warrant shipwrights have been promoted. In addition, the names of two other commissioned shipwrights and six warrant shipwrights have been noted for early promotion. I might also add that seven officers of the shipwright branch have received the Distinguished Service Cross.
