§ 1. Lord CHARLES BERESFORDasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he is able to state the total losses in the Royal Navy since the commencement of the War, giving, if possible, particulars of killed, wounded, and missing, respectively?
§ The FIRST LORD of the ADMIRALTY (Mr. Churchill)The figures asked for are as follows:—
| Officers. | |
| Killed | 222 |
| Wounded (of whom 14 are severely wounded) | 37 |
| Missing | 5 |
| Total | 264 |
§ The figures for men do not include those missing from the Royal Naval Division or the ship's company of His Majesty's ship "Good Hope," the lists in these cases not having been yet completed. As regards the Royal Naval Division the approximate number missing is 1,000. As regards the "Good Hope" the number of men on board was approximately 875. These figures do not include, of course, the officers and men of the Royal Naval Division interned in Holland.
§ Lord C. BERESFORDWill the right hon. Gentleman give the numbers of those killed and wounded in the Royal Naval Division?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLThey have been published, I think, as far as we know them. Of course, there may be some among the missing who are killed.
