HC Deb 22 October 1908 vol 194 c1330
SIR GILBERT PARKER (Gravesend)

To ask the Secretary of State for War whether the War Office has in its possession full information as to the mechanical means, such as motor ambulances, which may have been used for transporting the French sick and wounded during the campaigning at Casa Blanca; and, if not, whether he will instruct the Military Attaché at Paris to furnish a Report.

(Answered by Mr. Secretary Haldane.) From information received it would appear that no mechanical transport was used for the carriage of the French sick and wounded during the campaigning at Casa Blanca. Has the hon. Member any information to the contrary effect, and, if so, would he furnish me with it?

SIR GILBERT PARKER

To ask the Secretary of State for War if the War Office has in its possession full particulars as to the methods adopted for treating cases of enteric in the French field-hospitals at Casa Blanca; and, if not, will the War Office think it expedient to instruct the Military Attaché at Paris to procure full particulars.

(Answered by Mr. Secretary Haldane.) I am informed that enteric in the hospital at Casa Blanca was treated on the Brandt or cold-water system.
