HC Deb 19 May 1879 vol 246 c699
MR. WADDY

gave Notice that on Thursday he would ask the Secretary of State for War to state the number of British Forces of all arms now engaged in the prosecution of Wars in Afghanistan and Zululand respectively, including in each case the troops actually under orders.
