HC Deb 01 March 1883 vol 276 c1157
SIR HENRY WILMOT

asked the Secretary of State for War, If any steps are being taken to protect the graves of our soldiers and sailors who died in Egypt during the late war?

THE MARQUESS OF HARTINGTON

The remains of those who fell at Kassassin and Tel-el-Kebir will be interred in-one cemetery at the latter place. The Egyptian Government has undertaken to carry out the necessary works, under the direction of the British officer commanding the Royal Engineers, such as building an enclosing wall, planting trees, &c. It has also agreed to afford efficient protection to the cemetery.
