HC Deb 19 November 1918 vol 110 c3330
11. Mr. G. LAMBERT

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether the men of the ⅙th Devons, now in India, who went to the relief of General Townshend at Kut, and who have been on foreign service since 1914, can be relieved and sent home?

Mr. MACPHERSON

This question is under consideration, and I can assure my hon. Friend that these men will be brought home as soon as the situation will permit. I may add that there are men in other units and arms who are similarly situated, and they must receive equal treatment when the time comes.
