HC Deb 24 March 1871 vol 205 cc573-4
MR. H. B. SHERIDAN

asked the Secretary of State for War, Whether the Barracks and Stations for troops throughout the United Kingdom are supplied with Ordnance Maps of the locality in which they are situated and its surrounding districts, for the ready inspection and study both of officers and men?

MR. CARDWELL

A two-inch survey of the neighbourhood of Aldershot is being prepared by the Office of Works for the use of the officers at Aldershot. There is no general regulation for the supply of maps of the locality of stations in which troops are serving; but it has been the custom for the Horse Guards to recommend applications when forwarded by general officers, and the applications have been complied with.
