§ 17. Major Sir KEITH FRASERasked the Secretary of State for War if he is aware that many 1915 men, including A/Sergeant R. W. Gee, No. 73128, Royal Army Medical Corps, are still with the North Persian Forces at Kasvin; and will he expedite their return home?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLArmy Order 243 of 1919, as supplemented by Army Order 264 of 1919, authorised the dispatch from their stations overseas by the 28th August, 1919, of all demobilisable men enlisted in 1915, but this was subject to the necessary transport being available. Every endeavour is being made to expedite the dispatch of demobilisable men who, owing to lack of transport, have been retained in theatres overseas, and it is hoped that all such men will arrive home at an early date.
