HC Deb 29 June 1897 vol 50 c742
CAPTAIN NORTON

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War whether free kits have been issued to the soldiers who behaved so well on board the Warren Hastings, but who lost their kits and all their other belongings?

MR. BRODRICK

Yes, Sir. Free kits have been issued, and compensation given for private property lost. A special allowance of £1,000 has been distributed in this manner.
