§ Mr. HURDasked the Secretary of State for War what progress has been made since his last statement in the completion of memorial scrolls and plaques; and how many have now been issued to relatives of those who fell in the War?
Captain GUESTSome 20,000 scrolls have been actually inscribed and their dispatch will be commenced shortly. The factory for manufacturing the plaques is not yet finished, and will probably not be ready for two months. It has not, therefore, been possible to issue any plaque to relatives, though preparations are now in an advanced stage.
