HC Deb 22 May 1911 vol 26 c113W
Mr. LANE-FOX

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether, in view of the fact that a manual of drill for the Yeomanry has been promised for two years and of the want of uniformity in Yeomanry drill which is the result of their having no such manual, the War Office can have it compiled earlier than the end of this year, as recently suggested by him?

Colonel SEELY

It was decided to prepare a separate training manual for mounted troops other than Regular Cavalry only some few months ago, and as it was impracticable to complete the manual in time for this year's training, it was decided to have it ready for issue about the end of the year, so as to give all ranks an opportunity of studying it before the beginning of the training season of 1912.
