TREASURY CHAMBERS,
2 September 1908.
Sir,
I am directed by the Lords Commissioners of His Majesty's Treasury to transmit herewith, to be laid before Secretary the Earl of Crewe, a copy of correspondence which has taken place between this Board and the Board of Admiralty respecting the upkeep of the Naval Graves in the Public Cemetery at Hong Kong.
I am to request that My Lords may be informed (1) whether any charge is made for the interment of officers and men of the Royal Navy in this cemetery, (2) whether the expense of upkeep of the graves of private individuals there in falls on the relations in each case, or upon the Colonial authorities.
I am,
Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
J.d. Heath
The Under Secretary of State,
Colonial Office.
