§ Brigadier-General COLVINasked the Secretary of State for War whether he will grant such facilities to members of Territorial Force associations as will enable them to visit the battle areas on the Western Front?
Captain GUESTGeneral Headquarters is now being disbanded and the machinery which existed for providing facilities for visits have been cancelled, no that it is no longer possible to grant permission for specially conducted parties of members of the Territorial Force Associations to visit battle areas on the Western Front. I am informed that it is shortly hoped to remove entirely the restrictions which prevent the visit of persons to the old zone of battle. Anyone will then be able to proceed on a visit if he can provide his own transport.
