§ 5. Major COHENasked the Secretary of State for War whether bodies of soldiers are to be exhumed and transported by rail to other burial grounds; and whether, if this is the case, facilities will be given to relatives to have the bodies brought home to England?
§ The SECRETARY of STATE for WAR (Mr. Churchill)No. Sir; there is no intention of exhuming the bodies of our soldiers and transporting them by rail to other burial grounds. The only exhumation taking place is in the case of isolated graves, the bodies in which are being collected into cemeteries in close proximity to the graves. I regret that I can hold out no hope whatever that the facilities asked for in the latter part of the question will be granted.
§ Mr. CHURCHILLNo; not necessarily.
