Paragraph 33

If in determining the amount of any compensation payable to a person under these regulations account is taken of any employment prior to the first world war and that person was temporarily absent from that employment during that war whilst serving in His Majesty's Forces or the Forces of the Allied or Associated Powers, either compulsorily or with the sanction or permisson of the authority in whose employment he was immediately before such temporary absence, such period of temporary absence shall be reckoned as a period of service:

Provided that, in the case of a person who after the 11th day of November, 1918, voluntarily extended his term of service in such Forces, no period of absence during any such extension shall be reckoned.
