HC Deb 22 June 1916 vol 83 cc343-4W
Lord H. CAVENDISH-BENTINCK

asked why there was no mention of the attack on the Hohenzollern Redoubt carried out by the North Midland (46th) Territorial Division on 13th-14th October, either in the final dispatch of Field-Marshal Lord French or in that of the present Commander-in-Chief?

Mr. TENNANT

During the period in question no events of outstanding importance occurred which seemed at the time that Lord French laid down the command to call for a dispatch additional to that of the 15th October, which has already been published. The change in the Chief Command and the subsequent assumption of new and onerous duties by Lord French caused an unavovidable delay, but a dispatch covering the period between the beginning of October and the middle of December is now being compiled.
