§ MAJOR RASCH (Essex, S.E.)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether it is a fact, as stated in the Times of 6th April, that a boy had enlisted and is serving in the Grenadier Guards at the age of 14½, and whether this case is an example of the "special enlistment" sanctioned by the War Office?
§ MR. E. STANHOPEThere is no trace of any enlistment in the Grenadier Guards at the age of 14 1/2 years, except in the cases of boys avowedly enlisted as such.
