§ 18 Mr. HUNTasked how many soldiers of all ranks, exclusive of recruits and sick, were present with each Infantry battalion at Aldershot on the 28th February, 1913?
§ Colonel SEELYThe figures are not available at the War Office, and their compilation would therefore involve calling for a special return from all the units concerned. In view of the fact that at this period of the year units at home have parted with drafts which have been sent abroad the return would be of little value, and I hope therefore that the hon. Gentleman will not press for it.
