HC Deb 16 February 1888 vol 322 c540
COLONEL NOLAN (Galway, N.)

asked the Secretary of State for War, If he would put up a map of the neighbourhood of Massowah in the Heading Room, and allow an officer of the Intelligence Department to mark the positions of the Italian troops?

THE SECRETARY OF STATE (Mr. E. STANHOPE) (Lincolnshire, Horncastle)

I have given instructions that the best map we have of the neighbourhood of Massowah shall be placed in the Reading Room; but as regards the positions of the troops, as no foreign officers are to be attached to the Italian Army, we have no means of indicating them which are not available to the public generally.
