HC Deb 29 June 1917 vol 95 c689W
Mr. WILES

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether, having regard to the bravery and courage displayed by the 21st Middlesex Regiment which was recruited in Islington, he will ask for the allotment of one of the captured German guns to the borough of Islington?

Mr. FORSTER

The number of applications for captured guns exceeds the number available for immediate distribution. I am afraid, therefore, that it is not possible at present to make any permanent allotment. The claims of Islington will not be overlooked when the time for distribution comes.
