HC Deb 19 March 1860 vol 157 c834
CAPTAIN JERVIS

said, he would beg to ask the Secretary of State for War, Whether, taking into consideration the importance attached at the present day to artillery throughout Europe, there is any intention to place the Officers commanding the British Artillery in the principal stations abroad and at home, including Aldershot, in a position compatible with their duties, by giving them the rank of Brigadier-General?

MR. SIDNEY HERBERT

said, he was not sure that he quite understood the hon. and gallant Member's question, but he could state that the position of Artillery Officers was under the consideration of the Government.
