Major PALMERasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether the late Private James Torrance, No. 29395, 16th Canadian Scottish, who died from wounds in the London Hospital, has been buried 1378W in a general grave in the Ilford cemetery by the military authorities; and, if so, why he was not buried in the section of the cemetery set apart for soldiers?
§ Mr. TENNANTThe burial of this soldier took place before the arrangements for a special soldiers' plot in the cemetery at Ilford had been made. I have acquainted myself fully with the circumstances of this soldier's funeral, and I find that it was a dignified and impressive military ceremony, and that the soldier's friends have expressed their gratitude for all that was done.
