§ 19. Mr. TICKLERasked the Under-Secretary of State for War if British prisoner taken by Turks at Kut are allowed to-communicate with relatives in this country; and has the Government any knowledge of any such communication having reached this country from officers other than those on the staff?
§ Mr. TENNANTThe answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. About twelve letters from officers captured at Kut have reached this country, but it is not known if the writers had served on the staff.
