HC Deb 19 February 1920 vol 125 cc1077-8W
Captain BROWN

asked the Secretary of State for War, if any Yeomanry regiment had undertaken the imperial service obligation before 4th August, 1914, and was, therefore, available for overseas service pari passu with the regular cavalry as soon as War was declared; and, if so, whether this patriotic action will be rewarded by securing for that unit the right to remain a mounted unit if it so desires?

Mr. CHURCHILL
