HC Deb 22 February 1905 vol 141 c893
SIR CARNE RASCH

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for India whether he can state the number of casualties in the Aden frontier force; and whether it is proposed to give a medal for the services there rendered.

MR. BRODRICK

The number of casualties among the troops employed since the beginning of 1903 in the protection of the Aden Boundary Commission is as follows:—ten killed, twenty-one wounded. It is not proposed to give a medal as the military authorities do not recommend it.

MR. CHARLES HOBHOUSE (Bristol, K.)

Has the frontier force now been withdrawn?

MR. BRODRICK

I think practically so.
