HC Deb 03 March 1915 vol 70 cc799-800
72. Mr. BENTHAM

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War if his attention has been drawn to the death by drowning of seven soldiers at Gainsborough on the 19th February, while on duty; and whether he is taking steps to have a full inquiry into this incident?

Mr. TENNANT

Yes, Sir. A full inquiry is being made into this regrettable loss of life, but a final report has not yet been received.
