§ SIR ROBERT GUNTERI beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether, when militia helmets are found unserviceable in South Africa, they are replaced by felt hats, as in other branches of the service.
LORD STANLEYLarge supplies of felt hats have been sent to South Africa for the disposal of Lord Kitchener, and the question of replacing the militia helmets by these rests entirely with him.
