No widow shall be entitled to a pension should her husband, if living, be for any reason debarred. If the applicant is the widow of a soldier or sailor, who, if living would be entitled to a pension, she shall make oath that she is in fact the widow of such soldier or sailor and, as near as possible, state the facts showing her to be entitled to receive a pension under the provisions of this title in the same manner as required of a soldier or sailor. In case such widow cannot make such proof, she may comply with the provisions of the succeeding article.
