HC Deb 10 July 1871 vol 207 c1337
MAJOR WALKER

asked the Secretary of State for War, Whether there is any prospect of his being able to establish some more advanced course of military instruction for Field Officers of Militia than that now provided at the drill schools?

MR. CARDWELL

Sir, the instruction offered during the past year to officers of the Reserve forces had been accepted to an extent which encouraged the expectation that a higher class of instruction would not fail to be appreciated; and he should gladly consider by what arrangements so desirable an object could be best secured.
