§ * SIR BRAMPTON GURDON (Norfolk, N.)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether the mounted troops, who are stated to have been seized with panic at Tweebosch, were men of foreign extraction, and not British Yeomen; and whether he will take steps to stop the enlistment of men with whom we are under no common bond of nationality.
§ MR. BRODRICKWill the hon. Member kindly refer to my reply to a Question put by the hon. Member for West Newington on March 17th, † wherein he will find an enumeration of the mounted troops engaged at Tweebosch.
§ * SIR BRAMPTON GURDONHas the right hon. Gentleman observed how many foreign names—such as Pretorius and Joubert—there are in the casualty lists referring to the particular regiments?
