HC Deb 10 May 1909 vol 4 c1618W
Mr. BRODIE

asked the Secretary of State for War whether, in view of the fact that Yeomanry are to be used as cavalry in connection with the Territorial Army, and the consequent possibility of their being required to pursue a defeated enemy, it is proposed to provide them with a sword in addition to the rifle which they now carry; and, if not, whether any other weapon is to be issued to them?

Mr. HALDANE

The Yeomanry will be armed, as at present, with rifles and sword-bayonets. They will not be armed with the sword.
