HC Deb 02 March 1881 vol 259 c48

In reply to a Question from Mr. GIBSON,

MR. CHILDERS

said, that the only later news which had arrived at the War Office since the receipt of the telegram which he had read to the House last night was a telegram giving the nominal list of the officers killed, wounded, and missing, which had appeared in the newspapers of that morning. They had, he thought, one communication since then; but it was of no importance.
