HC Deb 21 March 1898 vol 55 c379
SIR LEONARD LYELL

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Admiralty, whether a new equipment of breechloading guns has been provided for the Royal Naval Reserve training station at Lerwick to replace the present antiquated armament?

MR. MACARTNEY

One 6-inch breech-loading gun and two 3-pounder quick-firing guns have recently been mounted in the R.N.R. Battery at Lerwick, and are now in use for drilling R.N.R. men.
