§ 72. Sir T. Mooreasked the Secretary of State for War the exact reasons why individual offers of service by American subjects are being refused by the British Government; and what is the objection to forming an American Legion?
§ Mr. LawI am not aware of any case in which an American citizen has been refused enlistment on account of nationality. The objection to forming a foreign legion is that it is greatly to be preferred, on grounds of organisation, that all enlistments should be into existing corps.
§ Sir T. MooreIf I bring to my hon. Friend's attention the names of Americans who are willing to join the British Army, will he facilitate their enlistment?
