HC Deb 09 July 1917 vol 95 c1608
89. Mr. LYNCH

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether the ex-Tzar of Russia holds honorary rank in the British Army?

Mr. MACPHERSON

He is Colonel-in-Chief of the "Greys," and holds the rank of Field-Marshal.

Mr. LYNCH

Will he continue to hold that rank?

Mr. MACPHERSON

This question is under consideration.

Sir J. D. REES

Is the hon. Gentleman aware that Nicholas II. never was Tzar of Russia. He was Emperor of Russia and Tzar of Poland.

Mr. LYNCH

Thank you.
