Sir R. WILLIAMSasked the Secretary of State for War whether for the past six months recruits have joined the Welsh Guards at the rate of 44 per month; and whether this figure of recruiting is higher than that of any battalion in the Brigade of Guards for the same period?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLYes, Sir; the figure is as stated. The average is higher than the Irish Guards but not higher than the other regiments of Foot Guards during the same period.
