HC Deb 03 June 1872 vol 211 c1027
COLONEL BERESFORD

asked the Secretary of State for War, If Sub-Lieutenants in the Cavalry can exchange for Infantry; if not, can those Sub-Lieutenants who have passed the highest examination at Sandhurst exchange generally with each other?

MR. CARDWELL

Sir, sub-lieutenants in the cavalry can exchange to infantry, subject, of course, to the general regulations, and provided they do not exceed the age for infantry. There is no objection to the exchange between two sub-lieutenants of infantry without reference to the list on which they pass out of Sandhurst.
