HC Deb 21 July 1915 vol 73 cc1479-80
22. Mr. ROBINSON

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether he has any information explaining the cause of the death of thirteen members of the Brecknockshire Territorial Force at Aden, reported on 4th July; and whether there is any special reason, apart from the heat, to account for this loss of life?

Mr. TENNANT

No, Sir; the deaths were due to heat apoplexy and no other cause.

Mr. ROBINSON

May I ask whether they were undertaking active service at the time?

Mr. TENNANT

Yes.
