HC Deb 21 September 1915 vol 74 c325
94. Colonel YATE

asked the Secretary of State for India when the dispatches relating to the operations in Mesopotamia and the Persian Gulf will be published in the "London Gazette"?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

The general question of the republication in the "London Gazette" of dispatches that have already been published in the "Official Gazette" of India with regard to operations controlled by the Indian Government is at present under my consideration in communication with the Secretary of State for War, and I am not in a position to make a statement on the subject.

Colonel YATE

Will the right hon. Gentleman consider the great hardships undergone by the Mesopotamia Field Force, and accelerate some recognition of their services as soon as he possibly can?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

Yes, Sir; I am extremely anxious to do so.
