§ 101. Mr. STEWARTasked if German prisoners, at Shotton, near Queensferry, are provided with butter and vegetables, whereas the soldiers who have to guard them have no rations of the kind supplied to them?
§ Mr. TENNANTIn the ration for prisoners of war there is the item: 1 oz. butter or margarine or 2 ozs. cheese. In the soldier's ration there is no butter. The soldier, however, receives 4d. a day as a messing allowance, and out of this it is customary to provide butter among other things.
