He “asked the Under-Secretary of State for War (John Tennant)
if he is aware that recruits stationed at Frensham Camp are writing home to
their friends complaining of the conditions under which they have to spend the
long winter evenings in camp, without fires or seats, and therefore always
miserable and often sick; and if he will take steps to remove the cause of
these complaints?"
Mr. Tennant replied that:
“No complaints have been received from the friends of troops
stationed at Frensham, and the medical reports as to their general health are
very good. These troops will be moved into barracks in a few days”.
Whatever the truth of his comments regarding complaints,
Tennant’s promise of a move away from Frensham would indeed be made good within
the next week.
