I have received your Address, praying that measures may be taken to prevent, as far as practicable, Soldiers enlisted in any Regiment of Cavalry or Infantry of the Line being called upon to serve out of the United Kingdom unless they have attained the age of twenty years.The subject of your Address had already engaged the attention of My Government, and I have given additional directions in conformity with your desire.
