§ CAPTAIN JESSEL () St. Pancras, S.I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War whether, in view of the frequent reports as to the use of field glasses by the Boers, the War Office will issue a certain proportion of field glasses to Her Majesty's troops, especially to the mounted branches.
§ MR. WYNDHAMYes, Sir. A large number have been sent to South Africa. I have already stated this.
§ *CAPTAIN JESSELWill the War Office take steps to recoup the officers of Regular regiments who have already provided field glasses for the N. C. O.'s and men at their own expense?
§ MR. WYNDHAMI will consider that matter.
