§ * SIR HENRY HOWORTH (Salford, S.)I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State 577 for War whether his attention has been called to the fact that General Lord Methuen has erected a monument at Boshof in honour of Colonel Villebois, who was fighting on the side of the Boers as a mercenary soldier; and whether he will consider the advisability of recommending that the erection of such monuments should in any case be postponed until after the war is concluded.
§ * THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR WAR (Mr. WYNDHAM, Dover)The Secretary of State for War has not received any report on this subject. But, Sir, I can think of no reason why one brave man should not put up a monument to another.
