§ 21. Sir C. TOWNSHENDasked the Secretary of State for War why it is considered necessary since the War to have major-generals to carry out the duties of Military Attaché in foreign countries with aide-de-camps attached when lieutenant-colonels and colonels without aide-decamps were considered a suitable rank for such a post before the War?
§ Sir L. WORTHINGTON-EVANSThe Military Attachés at Paris and Washington are of the rank of major-general because their position and work at these important capitals at present necessitate this status. No aide-de-camps are borne on the establishment of Military Attachés.
