§ 73. Brigadier-General CLIFTON BROWNasked the Secretary of State for War whether it is considered that a cavalry regiment consisting of two squadrons and a few machine guns is a large enough unit to mobilise for war; or whether it is intended to make one regiment out of two on mobilisation with four squadrons and machine guns?
§ The SECRETARY of STATE for WAR (Sir Laming Worthington-Evans)A cavalry regiment consisting of a head- 1364 quarters wing, a machine gun squadron of eight guns and two sabre squadrons is considered a large enough unit to mobilise, for war.
Brigadier-General BROWNIs it not a fact that in every other country they provide at least four or five squadrons in every cavalry regiment?
§ Sir L. WORTHINGTON-EVANSWe think that this new unit will be as powerful and worth mobilising.
