§ 40. Brigadier - General CROFTasked the Secretary of State for War if his attention has been called to the fact that many remount officers who were civilians prior to the War are incurring great business losses by not being demobilised; and whether remount work can be handed over to competent Regular officers from Cavalry regiments pending complete demobilisation?
Captain GUESTI am informed that all remount officers serving at home who have expressed a wish to return to their prewar civilian occupation have already been demobilised, and that the release of remount officers serving abroad is being carried out as quickly as possible, under the instructions of the Commanders-in-Chief in the respective theatres where they are employed. Cavalry, Artillery, and Yeomanry officers, as they become available, are being used to replace them.
