HC Deb 28 June 1916 vol 83 cc831-2
27. Mr. ASHLEY

asked whether the Army Order issued on the 22nd, which forbids officers and men without special authority to publish any article dealing witn the War or with military subjects, applies to sketches and drawings such as those which have been published from time to time by Captain Bruce Bairnsfather?

Mr. TENNANT

Sketches and drawings will be submitted, when they deal with military subjects, in the same way that photographs and sketches of similar subjects are now submitted.

Mr. ASHLEY

Can the right hon. Gentleman guarantee any sense of humour in the Press Bureau?

Mr. TENNANT

I should be very sorry to go so far as that.
