§ 102. Dr. M'DONALDasked the Secretary of State for War if, in view. of the 1573 fact that many men have served in Egypt continuously without leave, a condition which has caused discontent, he will take steps to rearrange the Egyptian Army of Occupation, in order that these men may be released at the earliest date possible?
Captain GUESTInstructions have recently been issued making provision for the early release of all men eligible for demobilisation. All men (except those in India and North Russia) who joined the Colours for continuous service in 1914 and 1915, men over thirty-seven, and those otherwise eligible under Army Order 55, have to embark for demobilisation by certain given dates.
