§ 44. Mr. BOYTONasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether his attention has been called to the vague manner in which the casualties in the different battalions of the London Regiment are reported by the authorities at the War Office; whether he is aware that the London Regiment covers no less than twenty six units; and if it will consider the possibility in such reports of indicating the particular battalion affected, as is generally done in connection with certain battalions of the regiment such as the Artists, the Honourable Artillery Company, the Queen's Westminsters, and the London Scottish?
§ Mr. TENNANTIn future the number of the battalion will be indicated.
§ Mr. BOYTONHas the attention of the right hon. Gentleman been called to a letter which has appeared in the papers (since this question was put down) of a very unselfish and sporting character from members of the four battalions referred to at the front, who evidently require no limelight; and will the right hon. Gentleman kindly give his attention to their request as well as to the one contained in my question?
§ Mr. TENNANTI have said that in future the number of the battalion will be given. I do not think it is desirable to use that kind of expression.
