§ 27. Mr. GILBERTasked the Undersecretary of State for War whether he has now completed his inquiries as to whether any of our wounded men in the recent German advance have suffered from any new kind of explosive shell or any new form of gas; and whether he can make any statement on the subject?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONReports have been obtained from various hospitals in the London district, and there does not appear to be any evidence which would lead the medical authorities to believe that any wounds to our soldiers have been caused by a new kind of explosive, chemical shell, or gas used by the enemy.
