HC Deb 20 December 1915 vol 77 c58
Sir E. CORNWALL

I desire to ask the Prime Minister whether he has any information in regard to the evacuation of Suvla Bay and Anzac, in the Dardanelles, by British troops?

The PRIME MINISTER

I think it will be interesting to the House to know that all the troops at Suvla Bay and Anzac, together with their guns and stores, have been successfully transferred, with insignificant casualties, to another sphere of operations, in pursuance of a decision come to some time ago by the Cabinet. The operation which has been so successfully carried out reflects the utmost credit upon the generals upon the spot, the admiral and his staff, and all ranks of the Navy and Army. I may have occasion to mention that to-morrow.
