§ 57. Sir COURTENAY WARNERasked the Under-Secretary for War what steps have been taken to provide quicklime for the trenches in France and Belgium; and if he is aware that the German trenches now occupied by our troops are in a most unsanitary condition, and that there is danger of disease unless large quantities of quicklime are available?
§ Mr. TENNANTLime is obtainable in large quantities in the area at present occupied by the British troops, and I am informed that it is being freely used in our trenches.
