§ MR. SOARESTo ask the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that hair brushes are distributed free to the Cavalry but not to the Infantry; and will he explain the reason of the distinction.
(Answered by Mr. Secretary Brodrick.) If the hon. Member will kindly refer to Army Order 244 of October 1902, he will find that the issue of a hair brush has been sanctioned for each soldier of the Foot Guards, Infantry of the Line, and Royal Army Medical Corps.
