HC Deb 14 June 1910 vol 17 c1294W
Colonel RAWSON

asked the Secretary of State for War how many of the heavy batteries in India have been equipped with the newest guns and carbines?

Mr. MONTAGU

None of the heavy batteries in India have been re-armed with the 60-pounder B.L. gun, which, it is presumed, is the weapon referred to, that gun being considered too heavy for Indian conditions. The carbines are the latest patterns of magazine Enfield and of magazine Metford carbines.
