They have included Iranians, Egyptians and Siamese. The question of their admission is discussed between this Office and the Colonial Office, in the case of Indians; and the Foreign Office with regard to Egyptians and Siamese. \n\nThese Honorary Cadets, if not accepted by us, would receive their instruction at the hands of the French, or some other foreign power. \n\nWith regard to the individual case of Ho Tung, the history is as follows:- \n\nA copy of a letter from Sir Robert Ho Tung to the Rt. Hon. J.H. Thomas was forwarded by Mr. Hankinson of the Colonial Office to the Secretary of State on 22nd May 1924. This letter requested that Sir Robert's son should be admitted to one of the British Military Colleges. The matter was referred to the various branches in this building and on 16th June 1924, Mr. Hankinson was informed that the War Office would be willing to accept Sir Robert's son. \n\nWe have now decided to allow Ho Tung to do an attachment with a unit of the Tank Corps. \n\nYours sincerely, \nTo V.
