men, shall respectively be construed as references to pensions, grants, and
allowances, granted, made, or awarded in respect of wounds, disablements or
other matters suffered, incurred, or happening during the said period, whether
the officers or men to or in respect of whom the pensions, grants, or
allowances are granted, made or awarded, retired or are discharged from the
service, or die before the expiration of the said period, or whether they so
retire or are discharged or die after the expiration of the said period, and
to officers and men who have died or been disabled through causes arising out
