HC Deb 11 November 1882 vol 274 c1644
SIR HENRY FLETCHER (for Mr. EDWARD CLARKE)

asked the Secretary of State for War, Whether Her Majesty's Government have already caused, or will cause, steps to be taken for inclosing, and marking with some permanent record which can be identified hereafter, the graves of those officers and soldiers who have been interred at Ismailia, Kassassin, and Tel-el-Kebir, so that they may not simply be lost in the sand?

MR. CHILDERS

This is a Question for the Foreign Office rather than for me, and my hon. Friend the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs has already answered, on the 6th instant, a somewhat similar inquiry. I may, however, say that I am satisfied, from what has already passed with the Egyptian Government, that proper steps will be taken in the matter.
