HC Deb 01 April 1919 vol 114 cc1051-2
27. Brigadier-General CROFT

asked the Secretary of State for War the approxi- mate number of Territorials who landed in India in 1914 who have seen active service?

Captain GUEST

The figures are not available at present, and in view of the pressure of work in the Record Office I am afraid I cannot undertake to have a Return of the numbers prepared—at any rate for the present.

Brigadier-General CROFT

May we take it for granted that the large majority of these Territorial troops have seen active service?

Captain GUEST

I think that a great many more have seen active service than is thought by public opinion.
