HC Deb 04 November 1919 vol 120 c1295
16. Colonel YATE

asked the Secretary of State for War whether officers of the Royal Engineers compulsorily detained in India are to be demobilised under the same orders as the men, or whether the orders regarding the demobilisation of officers differ from those regarding the men; and, if so, what is the difference?

Mr. CHURCHILL

Officers are not demobilised under the same orders as men, but are demobilised as and when they can be spared.
