§ Mr. MACPHERSONCaptured trophies are, when received in this country, allocated in accordance with the wishes of units if they can substantiate their claim to them. Guns that are serviceable, however, are in many cases retained for use in the country where they are captured. Without knowing the nature of the guns and the registered number, I regret that I am unable to answer definitely my hon. and gallant Friend's question.
