HC Deb 18 July 1899 vol 74 c1168
CAPTAIN BOWLES (Middlesex, Enfield)

I beg to ask the Financial Secretary to the War Office if, at the Royal Small Arms Factory, when Henry Horner injured an artery, there was no ambulance available, the poor man had to walk home, and on his arrival he fell exhausted.

* THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR WAR (Mr. WYNDHAM,) Dover

This man was conveyed to the surgery in a bath chair. On leaving the surgery after treatment he declined the use of the chair, and expressed a wish to walk home. The doctor at the time saw no objection to his doing so.
