§ 38. Commander KINGasked the Secretary of State for War whether a number of men of the Inland Water Transport, homeward bound for demobilisation after nearly three years' service in Mesopotamia, have been detained at Karachi for 1577 service in India; and, if so, for what service they are required, in view of the fact that they have no military qualifications?
Captain GUESTI have no information as to any Inland Water Transport personnel, homeward bound for demobilisation, being detained at Karachi, but it is possible that they have been held up there temporarily in consequence of the recent disturbances in India.
