§ MAJOR RASCH (Essex, S.E.)I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War if he will state what is the establishment of the new field batteries now stationed at Aldershot, and what is their actual strength in horses and guns.
§ *MR. WYNDHAMThe hon. and gallant Member probably refers to the batteries whoso formation was begun on the 28th July. I have no detailed information of their strength, but I understand that they have about one-third of their establishment.
§ MAJOR RASCHDoes the hon. Gentleman suggest that the guns are ready?
§ *MR. WYNDHAMYou can hardly expect that, when the formation of the batteries was only begun four or five days ago.
