§ MR. LAMBERT (Devonshire, South Molton)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether he can give the total number of the Militia forces sent to South Africa, the number of casualties among officers and men that have occurred, specifying killed, wounded, and invalided.
LORD STANLEYThe total Militia sent to South Africa amounted to 28,039. I cannot give a list of the casualties, as it has not been found possible to keep up separate returns of the casualties of the various branches of the service.
§ MR. LAMBERTCan the noble Lord give the numbers approximately?
§ MR. SWIFT MACNEILLCan the noble Lord relieve our anxiety by stating what has become of the military press censors? Are they safe?
