§ 4. Major Studholmeasked the Secretary of State for War whether, in view of the numerous complaints of the non-arrival of parcels, especially of cigarettes and tobacco, addressed to members of the forces serving in Burma, he will, in any case where pilfering can be proved, take steps to see that the culprits are severely punished.
§ Sir J. GriggThe military authorities in theatres of operations have ample powers to deal severely with offences of this nature and I have no reason to believe that they are not used whenever the culprits are caught.
