HC Deb 22 July 1903 vol 125 cc1439-40
MR. SHAW (Stafford)

To ask the Secretary of State for War when may the 1st South Staffordshire Regiment, now stationed at Harrismith, Orange River Colony, be ordered for home; and is there any prospect of the married non-commissioned officers' and men's wives and children being sent out to join them seeing that they have been separated from them nearly four years, and that the regiment has been under canvas three years and eight months.

(Answered by Mr. Secretary Brodrick.) Will the hon. Member kindly refer to my reply to a Question put by my hon. friend the Member for the West Division of Wolverhampton on the 16th instant on this subject.†
