§ VISCOUNT MIDLETONMy Lords, I wish to ask the noble and gallant Earl the Secretary of State for War a Question of which I have given him private notice—namely, whether he is in a position to tell the House the numbers of the military casualties in the recent disturbances in Ireland.
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR WAR (EARL KITCHENER)My Lords, from the latest information the casualties in Ireland are: Army—officers killed, 17; wounded, 46; other ranks, killed, 86; wounded, 311. Royal Navy—other ranks, killed, 1; wounded, 2. Royal Irish Constabulary—killed, 12; wounded, 23. Dublin Metropolitan Police—killed, 3; wounded, 3. Loyal Volunteers—killed, 5; wounded, 3. Total killed, 124; wounded, 388.
