HC Deb 06 February 1900 vol 78 c706
MR. BAINBRIDGE

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War whether the officers of the 1st Volunteer Battalion of the Northumberland Fusiliers made an application to the War Office offering to equip their regiment with a Maxim gun and all accessories thereto entirely at their own cost; and, if so, why this request was refused by the War Office.

* MR. WYNDHAM

There is no trace of the receipt of such an application.
