§ Sir LEO CHIOZZA MONEYasked the Under-Secretary for War, in reference to the fact that since 1st June the average casualties per day have been over 2,500, whether he can state the probable number of widows and orphans which have been created every day through the enlistment of married men?
§ Mr. H. FORSTERI regret that I am unable to give an answer to this question at the present time. If it were to be of any value, a great deal of research into soldiers' documents would be required, and the result would hardly justify the time and labour involved.
