§ Sir J. D. REESasked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that new colours were presented on 30th January, 1912, to the First Battalion Sherwood Foresters at Secunderabad by the Commander-in-Chief in India; what has become of the colours received by the regiment in 1839 to replace the colours of 1815; and whether he will take steps to have such colours made over to the city of Nottingham for deposit in St. Mary's Church, or such other treatment as the corporation of the city may think fit and proper under the circumstances?
§ Mr. H. BAKERI am referring this matter to the India Office for inquiry, as the War Office exercises no supervision over the disposal of old colours of battalions serving in India.
