HC Deb 29 October 1912 vol 43 cc219-20
13. MARQUESS of TULLIBARDINE

asked how many representatives of the British Army have been officially appointed as military attaches to the combatants in Tureo-Balkan States, and to what arm of the Service do they belong?

Colonel SEELY

Only those attaches who were already on the spot have been permitted by the various belligerent Powers to accompany the forces in the field.

MARQUESS of TULLIBARDINE

Is it not possible to have present any officers who know something of Infantry and Cavalry?

Colonel SEELY

It so happens that those who are there belong to the Artillery and other arms. It was a mere coincidence, but the facts are as I have explained.
