§ 75. Lord C. BERESFORDasked what is the number of British officers who have been reported missing on the Western front since the War began, and the number of such officers who, up to the present, have been afterwards accounted for, officially or unofficially, as dead, wounded, or prisoners of war?
§ Mr. TENNANTThe total number of British officers who have been reported missing in France and Belgium, and who still remain unaccounted for is 191. I am afraid I could not give the total number of officers who at any time have been reported missing. Many of the original reports that an officer is missing are erroneous and are corrected a few days later.
