Coronation—Representative Reservists from the late Seat of War.

HC Deb 12 June 1902 vol 109 cc500-1 500

§ CAPTAIN NORTON (Newington, W.)
I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War, whether he will consider the advisability of publishing the names of the Reservists selected to return home to represent the Army at the Coronation.

MR. BRODKICK
The "Bavarian" will not reach Southampton until the 25th instant, and I am afraid it would be impossible to obtain the names of the men in time for circulation to the press. I do not think the great expense of having the names telegraphed would be justifiable.
