HC Deb 02 December 1919 vol 122 c188
65. Mr. W. R. SMITH

asked the Secretary of State for War whether four Russian subjects from Alexandria, among whom were Wager and Kaletsky, joined the 1/9th Hants, formerly in Siberia, as volunteers, and served with our troops in Siberia as privates; whether these men were brought to Vladivostok in charge of Captain M'Cormick and there handed over to the Russian authorities; what has been their subsequent fate; and whether the War Office will instruct the British Military Mission in Siberia to see that these men, who have served with a British regiment, are treated with consideration?

Mr. CHURCHILL

Inquiries are already being made, and I will write to the hon. Member as soon as possible.
