Item 14 - Telegram from Lord Chelmsford to Edwin Montagu

Responds to A2/23/9, drawing his attention to a previous telegram in which he stated what they propose to do, and a Home Department ‘demi-official’ to Seton. The question of suitable punishments will doubtless be covered by the proposed instruction manual, which he will appoint a military officer to begin preparing at once. The draft will be examined by that officer and Rice in the light of the Hunter Committee report. Suggests that a matter of this kind might be dealt with in an official telegram.
