HC Deb 25 February 1915 vol 70 c384
59. Mr. SANDERSON

asked whether any of the troops of the Expeditionary Force are still required to stand in water in the trenches without being provided with waterproof stockings or trench waders and oilskin coats; and, if so, whether this applies to men who have already suffered from frostbite and who have returned to the trenches?

Mr. TENNANT

I would refer the hon. Member to the answer which I gave him on the 17th instant. The supplies of water proof stockings or trench waders and oilskin coats which have been dispatched oversea are considered adequate.
