§ 11. General COLVINasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether it is intended to reconstitute those Yeomanry regiments which were broken up in order to strengthen Regular Cavalry regiments; and whether, having regard to the conspicuous gallantry that Yeomanry regiments have exhibited on all occasions, and the high state of efficiency they had attained, the Army Council will take steps to ensure the preservation of these historic units?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONI am afraid that it is impossible to give any pledge in this matter until we are in a position to come to a decision as to the composition of the Army which it will be necessary to maintain after the War. I can, however, assure my hon. and gallant Friend that the splendid services rendered by the Yeomanry regiments will not be overlooked when the matter is considered.
